The notes in Am6
Because the uke's high-G string is re-entrant (it's a high note, not a bass), these notes don't stack low-to-high like a guitar — but the chord is the same: A (R), C (♭3), E (5), F♯ (6).
What a minor sixth chord is
a minor 6th adds a major sixth to a minor chord (root, ♭3, 5th, 6th) — a bittersweet minor with a lift in the top.
How it's used: A sophisticated minor tonic and a common iv chord; that raised sixth over the minor third is the whole flavour.
The sound: Bittersweet, cool, filmic — minor with a knowing smile. Where you'll hear it: Jazz, bossa nova, film themes, moody minor-key soul.
