Chord & FretCm6 on ukulele
On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. In this position the bass is Eb and the shape runs from fret 2 to 3. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
Notes on C: C – Eb – G – AFormula: 1 – b3 – 5 – 6In 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: It works as an elegant closing chord in minor songs, when a plain minor feels like too little. It is also the movie-style surprise chord when borrowed into a major key — Fm6 showing up in a song in C, for instance.
