Open G left-handed chord chart
Cmaj7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Major 7 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open G.
Cmaj7 uses the notes C, E, G, B 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. 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
Major 7 feels lush, polished and sophisticated and works for neo-soul, jazz-pop, chord melody and atmospheric harmony.
Mirrored diagrams matter here because the inner-string note placement is easy to misread when you are learning from right-handed chord books.
Let notes ring but do not squeeze; these voicings sound better with even pressure than brute force
Open G feels rootsy, slide-friendly and chord-rich. It makes partial chords, droning harmonies and slide-friendly shapes easier to hear quickly.
