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 4 fingerings below is x656: 3 fingers, held at the 5th fret.

None of them uses an open string, so this chord moves up the neck unchanged — the same shape 1 fret higher is the chord a semitone above.

It leaves out the 5. 4 strings cannot carry 4 notes, and the 5 is the one this chord can lose without changing what it is.

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.
