Sixth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The submediant, and the chord built on the submediant, is often simply called the sixth as it is the sixth scale degree.
The note of a chord forming the interval of a sixth with the chord's root, such as in the chords G6 or G6 added 9, is known as the sixth of the chord.
