Explore & Master the A#m6 Guitar Chord Interactively
The A#m6 chord (A# minor sixth) is spelled A#, C#, E# and F##. It sounds identical to Bbm6, whose notes Bb, Db, F and G are far easier to read.
Three voicings are listed, two of them barre shapes and one with an open string, and the lowest starts at the 1st fret. The spelling needs a double sharp for the sixth, so Bbm6 is the simpler way to write it. The A# Dorian scale contains all four notes.
The fretboard at the top labels each note of every shape, including the double sharp.
A# minor 6th guitar chord is also written as A#m6, A#min6 or A#-6.
