Whole Step Down left-handed chord chart
Cmaj7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Major 7 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Whole Step Down.
Cmaj7 uses the notes C, E, G, B and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Whole step down changes the guitar response enough to affect bends, muting and attack, which is useful for heavier left-handed rhythm playing. Mirrored diagrams matter here because the inner-string note placement is easy to misread when you are learning from right-handed chord books.

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
Whole Step Down feels lower, wider and more elastic under the fingers. It gives familiar fingering a deeper voice without changing interval relationships.
