The G m6 chord is a minor sixth chord with a bittersweet, jazzy character. It is built from the notes G, Bb, D, E. This page shows how to play G m6 on Octave Mandolin with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The shape nearest the nut leaves the G and E courses open and takes the rest at fret 1, reaching across 5 frets. The root is the G course itself. It sounds from G2 up to E4.
Octave Mandolin 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 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.
