G♯m6

G♯1B♭3D♯5E♯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 A♭m6 — the same twelve keys on a piano, a different piece of notation.

What is true of it

G♯m6 is G♯, B, D♯ and E♯ — 1, b3, 5 and 6 counted from G♯.

These are also the notes of Fm7♭5/G♯. 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 2 fingerings below is 1312: 3 fingers, one of them barring the 1st fret, held at the 1st 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.

1 of the 2 need a barre.

The brass dots are G♯, 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.
