I make it a point not to ever use the 6th and and 9th chords....so if anyone needs some, I have plenty of them left over.
I get the relations ship of the 6th and the key's relative minor, but isn't it typically ok to just call (in your 'G plus the E note for example) a G6 chord?Hi,
A good thing to do might be to look up popular songs that you know and have a look at the chords online.
Play along but keep an eye on what the chords are and where they're being used.
Minor 6th, for example, is going to be really common.
In G major that's Em, and in C it's Am - The 6th chord is the relative minor of the major key.
Or maybe you meant straight 1-3-5 chords with 6th,7th or 9th note added in?
Let us know.
He was talking about the vi chord. You're talking about the I6.I get the relations ship of the 6th and the key's relative minor, but isn't it typically ok to just call (in your 'G plus the E note for example) a G6 chord?

I am playing a guitar and I already know all the major, minor, 6th, 7th and 9th chords but about the last 3 ones I don not know how to use them in the song. Could any one tell me when to use each of them. Thanks in advance.
He was talking about the vi chord. You're talking about the I6.

Errr... That's not how I meant it.Ah I see, makes sense now. So I6' is a way to express a note (in this case that note in the tonic's (I chord's) scale?
I think steeno thought you meant "the 6th chord in the scale", or the vi.
