Open E left-handed chord chart

C#maj7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

Major 7 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open E.

C#maj7 uses the notes C#, F, G#, C and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Open E is big, direct and highly resonant, which suits left-handed players who want open-string power without losing a major tonal centre. Mirrored diagrams matter here because the inner-string note placement is easy to misread when you are learning from right-handed chord books.
