Open C left-handed chord chart
Em7b5 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Minor 7 Flat 5 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open C.
Em7b5 uses the notes E, G, A#, D 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. These are exactly the shapes that become frustrating in right-handed chord books, so the mirrored left-handed chart is part of the lesson, not just the design.
