Sixth chords

Just like seventh chords, there are different types of sixth chords as well,
formed by a triad with an additional sixth degree above the root. For
example, major sixth and minor sixth chords consist of a major or minor
triad respectively and an added sixth degree.

Chord abbreviations and symbols

Here are some universally accepted abbreviations used for triads:
 Major: the letter name itself represents a major triad (for example, C
= C major triad). Optionally its abbreviation ‘maj’ may appear:
Cmaj.

 Minor: ‘min’ (or ‘mi’) is the abbreviation for minor. The minus sign

‘-’ is also used for it (for example, Cmin, Cmi or C-).

 Diminished: is represented best by abbreviation ‘dim’ or a small

circle above the triad name; for example, Bdim or B°.

 Augmented: is represented by its abbreviation ‘aug’ or the sign ‘+’;

for example, Daug or D+.

 Suspended: is abbreviated as ‘sus’.
