Easy Basic Guitar Chord Tutorial – Learn to Play Dm6

The D Minor 6 Chord (also known as Dm6, D Minor 6th) is found by locating the 1, b3, 5 and 6 steps of the D Major Scale: D, E, F#, G, A, B, C#, or the notes D, F, A and B. The “b3″ symbol translates to “Flattened 3rd” , which means we simply lower the 3rd step of the D Major Scale (F#) a 1/2 step to an “F”.

D Minor 6 Chord notes: D, F, A and B

Here is a key that will help you read the chart:

Everything on the above chart should be self explanatory, except for the last three in the third column. They may need a bit of explaining. The O, or open symbol, simply means that you do not press down on any notes on that string. The X means you do not strum that particular string. The Barre symbol means you need to barre that particular fret. When you barre a fret you are pressing down on multiple strings at the same time with one finger.

Chord Playing Tip: Be sure that you are pressing down on the strings hard enough. You should play each string one at a time to make sure you have a nice clean sound. If any of the strings buzz or sound muted, then something is not right.
