The notes in C♯6

RC♯3E♯5G♯6A♯

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: C♯ (R), E♯ (3), G♯ (5), A♯ (6).

What a major sixth chord is

a major 6th adds the sixth to a major chord (root, 3rd, 5th, 6th) — a sweeter, more vintage alternative to the major 7.

How it's used: A soft, finished-sounding tonic: many old standards end on a 6 chord instead of a plain major for a warmer button.

The sound: Warm, nostalgic, breezy — 'sunny vintage'. Where you'll hear it: Jazz standards, swing, surf, and final chords that want to smile.

A warm I6–IV vamp — that added 6th is the vintage sweetness. Played on the ukulele — press play, and drag Key to move it.
