The diagrams below show several forms for Major sixth chords. (Such chords are usually just called sixth or 6th chords.) Use notes 1 - 3 - 5 - 6 in a particular key to create the chords. For an explanation of the figures, go to the notation file. To understand how the chords are derived, go to the tutorial on keys. Table 3 is a quick summary of how chords are formed, and Table 2 contains all the notes in all of the (major) keys.
