6/9 Chords

A major or minor triad with the addition of both a major sixth and a major ninth interval above the root is called a 6/9 chord. (Although the 6/9 chord has no seventh, the use of the number “9” instead of the more logically consistent ”2” is overwhelmingly traditional.) The chord symbol for a 6/9 chord is the letter name of the chord followed by 6/9, as in “C6/9” or “Cmi6/9.”
