C m6/9 on DGBE: every charted voicing with its frets, its fingers, and audio on tap.

C m6/9 chord diagram, starting at fret 1. Strings low to high: D open, G 5th fret, B 4th fret, E 5th fret.

C m6/9 stacks C – D – D# – G – A. Each chart below places those tones on the Chicago Tuning Banjo's DGBE strings and names the fret and finger holding each one — tap a chart to hear it.

These four open strings are pitch for pitch the top four of a guitar, so guitar fingerings arrive intact. What does not arrive is the sustain: a banjo head answers the pick and stops, which is why the picking hand carries the time here.

Then hand it over: a plectrum banjo lives or dies on the evenness of the stroke, so hold one voicing and play it as steady quarter notes before you let it move anywhere at all.
