Open G left-handed chord chart

Em7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

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

Em7 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. These shapes often appear in right-handed lesson material with confusing string references, so the left-handed diagram removes that friction.

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

Minor 7 feels smooth, warm and flexible and works for funk comping, neo-soul, modal harmony and groove guitar.

Lefty Translation

These shapes often appear in right-handed lesson material with confusing string references, so the left-handed diagram removes that friction.

Grip Cue

Barre only what you need and let the mirrored chart guide finger placement so the non-dominant hand does not overwork

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.
