Open G left-handed chord chart

Emaj7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

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

Emaj7 uses the notes E, G#, B, D# and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Open G stacks a major chord under the strings, which turns left-handed rhythm and slide ideas into a much more visual game than in standard tuning. Mirrored diagrams matter here because the inner-string note placement is easy to misread when you are learning from right-handed chord books.

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

Context

How To Use This Page

Overview

Major 7 feels lush, polished and sophisticated and works for neo-soul, jazz-pop, chord melody and atmospheric harmony.

Lefty Translation

Mirrored diagrams matter here because the inner-string note placement is easy to misread when you are learning from right-handed chord books.

Grip Cue

Let notes ring but do not squeeze; these voicings sound better with even pressure than brute force

Tuning Context

Open G feels rootsy, slide-friendly and chord-rich. It makes partial chords, droning harmonies and slide-friendly shapes easier to hear quickly.
