Open D left-handed chord chart

Esus2 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

Sus2 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open D.

Esus2 uses the notes E, F#, B and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Open D spreads a big major sonority across the guitar, which makes both scale mapping and chord design feel more spacious. These shapes can be visually deceptive in right-handed charts because the intervals look so open; the mirrored lefty version solves that quickly.

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