Whole Step Down left-handed chord chart

C#maj7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

Major 7 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Whole Step Down.

C#maj7 uses the notes C#, F, G#, C 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

Overview

Major 7 feels lush, polished and sophisticated and works for neo-soul, jazz-pop, chord melody and atmospheric harmony.

Lefty Translation

Mirrored diagrams matter here because the inner-string note placement is easy to misread when you are learning from right-handed chord books.

Grip Cue

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

Tuning Context

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