A# 6/9 Chord

How the A# 6/9 chord is built: its notes, its interval structure, and where it fits.

The A# 6/9 chord contains 5 notes: A# – C – D – F – G. It belongs to the sixth family of chord qualities. Like every chord, it is defined by the distances (intervals) between its notes, not by any one instrument — which is why the same formula names the chord whether it is voiced on a fretboard, a keyboard, or a choir.
