I don't think it requires any translation, as if you just tilt the guitar neck back towards you, this view is the view you'd have of the keyboard. If you had the mirrored translation, you'd always need to mentally flip the chord unless you're playing in front of a mirror.

The only way I can think of to present it as you'd play it would be to implement the notes facing 'away' from you, and have a transparency effect like you're looking through the back of the neck (to make it clear we're talking guitar orientation). Otherwise, the articles' orientation is how you'd see the fretboard if you just tilted the neck towards yourself.


Unless of course, you are left handed, in which case it's mirrored, and hard to follow.
