Open G left-handed chord chart
Gsus2 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Sus2 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open G.
Gsus2 uses the notes G, A, 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 can be visually deceptive in right-handed charts because the intervals look so open; the mirrored lefty version solves that quickly.

Context
How To Use This Page
Sus2 feels open, modern and airy and works for pop rhythm guitar, drone-based accompaniment and layered acoustic parts.
These shapes can be visually deceptive in right-handed charts because the intervals look so open; the mirrored lefty version solves that quickly.
Listen for the major second against the root and avoid pressing so hard that the voicing sounds stiff
Open G feels rootsy, slide-friendly and chord-rich. It makes partial chords, droning harmonies and slide-friendly shapes easier to hear quickly.
