Explore the A#6/9 Guitar Chord: Play, Practice & Master

Five notes make up the A# six nine chord, A#6/9: A#, C##, E#, F## and B#. It is a major triad with the sixth and the ninth added, and no seventh.

This page has three voicings, one of them with open strings and one using a barre. All five chord notes belong to the A# major pentatonic scale, and the scale has no others, so chord and scale share the same set of pitches. A#6/9 sounds identical to Bb6/9, spelled Bb, D, F, G and C, and the double sharps in the A# spelling are why Bb6/9 is the name you will normally see.

Press play on the fretboard player at the top to hear A#6/9 strummed and as an arpeggio.

A# 6/9 guitar chord is also written as A#6/9, A#6add9, A#69 or A#maj6/9.
