The A 6 chord is a sixth chord that adds a major sixth for a sweet, vintage flavor. It is built from the notes A, C#, E, F#. This page shows how to play A 6 on Classical Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The A string ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 2. The E string stays silent, so 5 of 6 sound. The root is the A string itself. It sounds from A2 up to F#4. 2 voicings are charted, the highest starting at fret 5.
It has nylon strings on a wider, flatter neck than a steel-string guitar, which is why it is played fingerstyle rather than with a pick.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on A or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
