I finally got around to updating the movable chord page in An Illustrated Mandolin Chord Bible to note how the Major6 movable shapes are enharmonic to the Minor7 shapes. I show 4 chord shapes for major6 chords, and in another section I show the same four shapes for the minor7 chords.
Didn't want to hi-jack Matt's thread so I'm making note of this in its own thread. I added notes to the chord shapes in both sections - major6 and minor7 - to point this out.
Here is an example, showing that the shape & position of a B6 chord is exactly the same as that of a G#m7/Abm7 chord:
B6
G#m7 / Abm7
Here is the rule of thumb for these movable shapes:
1. The Major6 chord shape is the same as it's relative minor7 shape.
G#m is the relative minor of B, so the B6 shape is the same as the G#m7 shape.
2. The Minor7 shape is the same as its relative major6 shape. (Patently obvious)
The same relationships hold true of all four movable shapes.
