To be honest I was disaapointed in this product. I have a Hal Leonard incredible Chord Finder for 'right handed players' which I feel is far superior to this chart. I was really hoping to find something like the Hal Leonard chart, only for left handed players, so I didn't have to keep converting all the time. One of the main aspects to the Hal Leonard chart that I liked, is it always gives you three different options for fingering each chord whereas the Mel Bay chart only gives you one. There were some other nuances too like indicating on the chord diagram where the root of the chord is and a shaded portion for Bass Players to work with. It wasn't a lot of money but not much help either. Sorry Mel.I thought this was a good idea at the time. But then decided that any/all music notation that I'll be reading will be right-handed based..so why not get use to it. Seeing/learning the chords inverted for left-handed players was just confusing.It's difficult to make the mirror image transition from right-handed to left-handed. Once I've learned the chords from this booklet, it has been much easier to read regular music. It helped a lot.We are not guitar players but this was just a small chart. Somewhat helpful but not what i was expecting for $5? More like a $2.00 item.My daughter got a left handed guitar for Christmas. In a right handed world, this is a very helpful tool. Started lessons this week and it will come in handy for a long time to come. Anything to help the lefty is a good thing!I was expecting more than just a little pamphlet pretty muchVery clear diagrams and saves me a lot of time trying to flip the chords in my mind.good chartits fine, I'm happy enough with it.I like the layout,makes it easier to get a tune going. Gives basic major and relative minor chords on the low end of the guitar(frets 1 to 6) would be better if it gave some chords on the higher end of the guitar(if its possible, I dont know Im a beginner!)Good and clear instructions. Recommended.
