Open C left-handed chord chart

Dmaj7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

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

Dmaj7 uses the notes D, F#, A, C# 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. Mirrored diagrams matter here because the inner-string note placement is easy to misread when you are learning from right-handed chord books.
