[A][B][Bb][C][D][E][F][F#][G]
Been through major, power, minor and sevenths? To form a sixth chord, you take a major chord and add the sixth note of the scale. The sixths sound particularly pleasant and make a nice change from majors. Example: This is the scale of G again
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
G A B C D E F# G

The sixth note is an E and adding this to G major would give a G6. There's a full List of sixths for you to try.
