B m6 Chord on Puerto Rican Cuatro
Play B m6 on Puerto Rican Cuatro: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The B m6 chord is a minor sixth chord with a bittersweet, jazzy character. It is built from the notes B, D, F#, G#. This page shows how to play B m6 on Puerto Rican Cuatro with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The B and D strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 2 over a 3-fret stretch. The root is the B string itself. It sounds from G#3 up to B4.
Puerto Rican Cuatro is strung in five courses of two, the lower two paired an octave apart, so each stopped note here sounds as two — which is why the shape rings thicker than the same grip on a single-strung instrument.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on B 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.
