Chord & FretCm6/9 on ukulele
On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. In this Cm6/9 voicing the bass is Eb and the shape runs from fret 3 to 5. Because this instrument has fewer strings than Cm6/9 has notes, one note — usually the fifth — is normally dropped without losing the chord's identity. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
Notes in Cm6/9: C – Eb – G – A – DFormula: 1 – b3 – 5 – 6 – 9In the formula, the numbers count steps of the major scale starting from the note that names the chord; "b" lowers a half step, "#" raises one — and a slash names the bass note.
Where to use it: Endings in a minor key, bossa nova and jazz — when a plain minor feels too short.
