Minor chords- often you hear them described as “sad” compared to major chords, and that might be true but when you add a 6th into the mix you get something magical. Mysterious, plaintive, moody… the minor 6th has a very evocative sound, to me anyway.
On the left hand side we get the root from the open A string and the 2nd fret of the G string. 2nd fret of D string gives us E, 1st fret of B string for C and 2nd fret of E string for F#.
On the right, 5th fret of E gives us A (both E strings) as well as the 7th fret of the D string. The 5th fret of the G string gives us our minor 3rd which is C. 7th fret of A string provides the E (fifth), and 7th fret of B string gives us the F#.
Have some fun with this lovely chord!
