Play A 6 on Mandocello: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
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 Mandocello with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The shape nearest the nut leaves the A course open and takes the rest at fret 1, reaching across 4 frets. A falls on the G course. It sounds from C#2 up to A3.
Mandocello is strung in four courses of two, 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 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.
