Open G left-handed chord chart
Caug Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Augmented chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open G.
Caug uses the notes C, E, G# and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Open G stacks a major chord under the strings, which turns left-handed rhythm and slide ideas into a much more visual game than in standard tuning. Augmented shapes are easy to misread on standard diagrams, so the left-handed chart is doing real translation work here.

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
Augmented feels bright, unsettled and cinematic and works for passing harmony, theatrical transitions and altered colour.
Augmented shapes are easy to misread on standard diagrams, so the left-handed chart is doing real translation work here.
Keep the voicing compact and use the mirrored box to see the raised fifth clearly
Open G feels rootsy, slide-friendly and chord-rich. It makes partial chords, droning harmonies and slide-friendly shapes easier to hear quickly.
