Double Drop D left-handed chord chart

C#maj7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

Major 7 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Double Drop D.

C#maj7 uses the notes C#, F, G#, C and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Double Drop D creates matching outer-string anchors, which is useful for fingerstyle and droning lines that left-handed players often have to translate from right-handed examples. 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.

Grip Cue

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

Tuning Context
