Left Handed Guitar Chords Poster

When I first started to learn left handed guitar chords, it never occurred to me that chord diagrams were designed with right handed players in mind. I always managed to figure them out, but there was always that slight struggle toget them to make sense on my southpaw guitar.

Like me, many of youwill just put upwith deciphering regular chord diagrams – but why make it harder? Lefthanded guitar chords will help make learning that little bit easier.

The orange stripe near the top of each diagram represents the nut, i.e. the thin strip of plastic or bone just before your guitar’s headstock which holds the strings in place.

A ‘0‘ above the nut (the orange strip)tells you that the string should be played ‘open’, i.e do not fret any notes. An ‘X‘ above the nutindicates that the string should not be played.

Yes! Left handed guitar chord charts are essentially mirrored versions of regular chord diagrams. So for example, if you were to look at a regular guitar chord chart in a mirror you would get a left handed chord. Other than this simple difference they are exactly the same.

Left Handed Guitar Chords Every Guitarist Must Know

This is easily illustrated in the image below which shows a left handed E Minor chord versus a right handed E Minor chord.

Finger placement. Try to place your fingers as close tothefret-wire as you are able to. The reason for this is because if you place them too far back, the string is likely to buzz.

Finger pressure. Try to use the lightest touch necessary for the stringto ring through without any buzzing. Pressing down too hard will causethe note to become slightly sharp, making the chord sound off key.

Stay in tune. Always tune your guitar before playing. If your guitar is out of pitch you might incorrectly blame wonky sounding chords on finger pressure or other issues.
