F♯m6

F♯1A♭3C♯5D♯6

A minor triad with a major sixth added, which is why it is not simply a minor chord with a flat seventh.

Written the other way round it is G♭m6 — the same twelve keys on a piano, a different piece of notation.

What is true of it

F♯m6 is F♯, A, C♯ and D♯ — 1, b3, 5 and 6 counted from F♯.

These are also the notes of D♯m7♭5/F♯ and E♭m7♭5/F♯. Which name is right depends on what is underneath and what came before — the notes alone do not decide.

On an instrument that cannot reach all 4, the 5 goes first, in that order.

The easiest of the 5 fingerings below is 20122x: 4 fingers, held at the 1st fret.

1 of them use open strings, which is what makes a shape quiet to change to.

1 of the 5 need a barre.

1 string stays silent.

The brass dots are F♯, the root. Everything else is a chord tone with its degree printed in it.

An inversion is the same chord with a different note lowest. The name changes to a slash name because the bass is what a listener hears as the foundation.
