Minor 6th Chord

🎵 A sophisticated minor sound (root, b3, 5, 6). The added 6th adds a touch of nostalgia or coolness and lifts the mood slightly compared to a minor triad or minor 7th. Use it in jazz standards, older pop, or film scores for a cool, melancholic, or slightly jazzy feel.

Also abbreviated as: m6-6

With all 4 notes and C as bass, it is also: Am7b5/CAø/CAø7/CC-6Cm(add6)Cm6Cmin6

Contains intervals: 1P3m5P6M
