Open E left-handed chord chart

Csus2 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

Sus2 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open E.

Csus2 uses the notes C, D, G 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. These shapes can be visually deceptive in right-handed charts because the intervals look so open; the mirrored lefty version solves that quickly.

Chord boxes are mirrored for left-handed guitar. Tab and low-to-high shape notation remain standard so common lessons still translate.
