Standard left-handed chord chart

Bmaj7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

Major 7 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Standard.

Bmaj7 uses the notes B, D#, F#, A# and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Standard tuning keeps the usual string relationships intact, so it is the easiest place to compare left-handed charts with mainstream tab and lesson content. Mirrored diagrams matter here because the inner-string note placement is easy to misread when you are learning from right-handed chord books.

Chord boxes are mirrored for left-handed guitar. Tab and low-to-high shape notation remain standard so common lessons still translate.

Context

How To Use This Page

Grip Cue

Let notes ring but do not squeeze; these voicings sound better with even pressure than brute force

Tuning Context
