Open C left-handed chord chart

G#m7b5 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

Minor 7 Flat 5 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open C.

G#m7b5 uses the notes G#, B, D, F# and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Open C gives the guitar a large low register and a broad major framework, which is ideal for cinematic left-handed accompaniment and layered rhythm parts. These are exactly the shapes that become frustrating in right-handed chord books, so the mirrored left-handed chart is part of the lesson, not just the design.

Context

How To Use This Page

Overview

Lefty Translation

These are exactly the shapes that become frustrating in right-handed chord books, so the mirrored left-handed chart is part of the lesson, not just the design.

Grip Cue

Keep the fretting wrist loose and build the shape from the root outward so the b5 stays accurate

Tuning Context

Open C feels huge, modern and harmonically rich. It adds width without sacrificing melodic clarity completely.
