About the Dm6 chord

D minor sixth is built from 4 notes: D (1), F (♭3), A (5), B (6). The lowest note you play should be the root, D, highlighted on the diagram. You can play it in 12 places on the fretboard. The first shape is the most common; higher shapes make smooth changes easier in some keys.
