Double Drop D left-handed chord chart

D#aug Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

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

D#aug uses the notes D#, G, B 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. Augmented shapes are easy to misread on standard diagrams, so the left-handed chart is doing real translation work here.

Context

How To Use This Page

Overview

Augmented feels bright, unsettled and cinematic and works for passing harmony, theatrical transitions and altered colour.

Lefty Translation

Augmented shapes are easy to misread on standard diagrams, so the left-handed chart is doing real translation work here.

Grip Cue

Keep the voicing compact and use the mirrored box to see the raised fifth clearly

Tuning Context

Double Drop D feels symmetrical on the outside strings and strong for drones. It opens up mirrored shapes at the top and bottom of the fretboard.
