C Standard left-handed chord chart
G5 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Power chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in C Standard.
G5 uses the notes G, D and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. C Standard lowers the whole guitar while keeping interval relationships intact, which is useful for heavy left-handed players who still want logical mirrored charts. Left-handed rhythm players usually want the visual reference on the bass side first, which is why the chart keeps the low strings on the right.

Context
How To Use This Page
Power feels lean, strong and aggressive and works for rock rhythm guitar, punk, heavy riffs and quick key changes.
Left-handed rhythm players usually want the visual reference on the bass side first, which is why the chart keeps the low strings on the right.
Use the mirrored chart to keep the root on the correct bass-side string so palm muting and downstrokes line up cleanly
C Standard feels low, thick and heavy without dropping interval logic. It keeps the same shape logic while delivering a heavier voice.
