Play G 6 on 12-String Guitar: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The G 6 chord is a sixth chord that adds a major sixth for a sweet, vintage flavor. It is built from the notes G, B, D, E. This page shows how to play G 6 on 12-String Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The shape nearest the nut leaves the D, G, B and E strings open and takes the rest at fret 2, reaching across 2 frets. G falls on the E string. It sounds from G2 up to E4. 2 voicings are charted, the highest starting at fret 10.
12-String Guitar is strung in six courses of two, the lower four 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 G 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.
