F♯ major 6th chord

Playing it

On guitar, the usual F♯6 shape is xx4342 at the 2nd fret. It has no open strings, so it’s a movable shape — slide it along the neck for other major 6th chords. Don’t strum the low E and A strings.

On piano, every note of F♯6 is a black key.

On ukulele the usual F♯6 shape is 6666, with the index finger barring all four strings at the 6th fret.

F♯6 contains exactly the same notes as E♭m7. Which name fits depends on which note is in the bass and what key you’re in.

Move a single note and F♯6 becomes a different chord: drop the D♯ for F♯, raise D♯ to E for F♯7, swap D♯ for E♯ for F♯maj7 and lower A♯ to A for F♯m6.
