The notes in E♭6
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: E♭ (R), G (3), B♭ (5), C (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.
