Open C left-handed chord chart

Cm7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

Minor 7 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open C.

Cm7 uses the notes C, D#, G, A# and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Open C gives the guitar a large low register and a broad major framework, which is ideal for cinematic left-handed accompaniment and layered rhythm parts. These shapes often appear in right-handed lesson material with confusing string references, so the left-handed diagram removes that friction.
