C m6 Chord

How the C m6 chord is built: its notes, its interval structure, and where it fits.

The C m6 chord contains 4 notes: C – D# – G – A. 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.
