Bm6

B1D♭3F♯5G♯6

A minor triad with a major sixth added, which is why it is not simply a minor chord with a flat seventh.

What is true of it

Bm6 is B, D, F♯ and G♯ — 1, b3, 5 and 6 counted from B.

These are also the notes of G♯m7♭5/B and A♭m7♭5/B. Which name is right depends on what is underneath and what came before — the notes alone do not decide.

On an instrument that cannot reach all 4, the 5 goes first, in that order.
