D# Minor Sixth Ninth Guitar Chord Charts & Variations
Five notes make up D#m6/9, the D# minor six nine chord: D#, F#, A#, B# and E#. It sounds identical to Ebm6/9, which uses Eb, Gb, Bb, C and F instead.
The sharp spelling needs both B# and E#, two notes that are the same pitches as C and F. That is why the Eb version is simpler to read. The minor third is F# and the fifth is A#. The D# minor triad is the foundation, with the major sixth (B#) and the major ninth (E#) above it. All five notes belong to the D# Dorian scale.
D# minor 6/9 guitar chord is also written as D#m6/9, D#m69, D#min6/9 or D#-6/9.
