Double Drop D left-handed chord chart
D#5 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Power chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Double Drop D.
D#5 uses the notes D#, A# 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. Left-handed rhythm players usually want the visual reference on the bass side first, which is why the chart keeps the low strings on the right.

How To Use This Page
Power feels lean, strong and aggressive and works for rock rhythm guitar, punk, heavy riffs and quick key changes.
Left-handed rhythm players usually want the visual reference on the bass side first, which is why the chart keeps the low strings on the right.
Use the mirrored chart to keep the root on the correct bass-side string so palm muting and downstrokes line up cleanly
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.
