Sixth Chord

A sixth chord is a type of chord used in music that adds richness and depth to a harmony. It is typically formed by taking a basic chord, such as a minor or major chord, and adding an extra note called the sixth, which is the sixth degree of the scale above the root note. This creates a four-note harmony that often sounds more expressive or colorful. Sixth chords are common in both classical and popular music, used to evoke specific emotional tones or to add a smooth, flowing quality to the music's progression.
