Dbm6/9 Guitar Chord Chart | Db Minor Sixth Ninth
Db, Fb, Ab, Bb and Eb are the notes of Dbm6/9, the Db minor six nine chord. It sounds identical to C#m6/9, and the Fb in the flat version is why the sharp spelling is simpler to read.

Db minor 6/9 guitar chord is also written as Dbm6/9, Dbm69, Dbmin6/9 or Db-6/9.
