The Gbm6 chord (Gb minor sixth) is spelled Gb, Bbb, Db and Eb. It sounds identical to F#m6, which swaps the double flat for the plain A and is simpler to read.
Three voicings are listed, two of them barre shapes, and the lowest sits at the 2nd fret. The Gb Dorian scale contains all four notes, even if the Bbb makes it hard to read.
Barre chords are easy to mute by accident, so strum Gbm6 in front of your microphone and let the player at the top report which strings sound.
Gb minor 6th guitar chord is also written as Gbm6, Gbmin6 or Gb-6.
