Left-Handed Mandolin Chord Chart

It does what it says, I suppose, it shows chords for the mandolin arranged for left-handed players. It is a piece of light card with a single fold , the chords are on the inside, and the back has a chart showing how each fretted note on the mandolin relates to notes on the treble clef (handy if you're going to be reading music to play on the mandolin.Downsides?1 of the 4 pages is taken up with the title page- a full colour photo of a mandolin (it's not even a left handed one, it's a right handed one turned upside down, but that's not important right now). you'd think they could have had a paper insert with this on, and used that page on the chart for something useful. or just missed the photo and used that space for something helpful.A lot of the chart is taken up with diminished and augmented chords. They're not nearly as useful as usual Major/Minor/Seventh and the space could have been used for, say Major Seventh chords, or alternative fingerings for some other chords. Because of the way Augmented and diminished chords are constructed, there is much duplication - C Ab E augmented are exactly the same, C Eb Gb A diminished are all the same. This is a lot of wasted space on the chart, in my opinion.The chart on the back : because the photo of the mandolin continues onto the back page, the chart of notes is printed on a medium-dark blue and is quite difficult to read in many lighting conditions.Upsides: the chord chart itself is easy to read, and the inclusion of the relative minor chords alongside the major chords is useful. There are , in places, useful alternative fingerings for some chords (but you have to look for them)I suppose I should be grateful that left-handers are catered for.

Too many chords no information at all if you try looking for say a C you need to look through all the chords to find it. They are not organised in any logical order. There are many other resources you can draw from give this a miss.

Good

it is what it is.
