If one sees a minor 6 chord, do you play the minor sixth, or the minor third and the major sixth? I seem to remember it being something like the latter, although the former makes a lot more sense.
Is this like the chord symbol to play a dorian? This would make sense, with the minor 3rd/major 6th format. I ask because I was fiddling around last night with some arpeggios while listening to A Night In Tunisia, and I played an Eb7 arpeggio at the same time as the piano did it (completely unintentionally, I was just walking them up the neck) and so I thought I'd try and figure out the rest of it. I opened the fakebooks I have with that song in it and the following chord is a Dm6 -- and it sounds right when I play D-F-A-B-A. Is this correct?
