Whole Step Down left-handed chord chart
Em7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Minor 7 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Whole Step Down.
Em7 uses the notes E, G, B, D and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Whole step down changes the guitar response enough to affect bends, muting and attack, which is useful for heavier left-handed rhythm playing. These shapes often appear in right-handed lesson material with confusing string references, so the left-handed diagram removes that friction.

How To Use This Page
