The voicings for some minor add♭6 chords differ significantly from those for other chords with the same root note, which makes them sound really jarring when played next to any of the others.
Apparently this only happens to chords with specific root notes, but it happens in any key and it doesn’t matter which scale degree the chord is on:
- The chordal 3rd jumps up an octave on Gm(add♭6)
- The chordal 5th jumps up an octave on D#m/Ebm(add♭6)
- The chordal 6th jumps down an octave on G#m/Abm(add♭6), Am(add♭6) and A#m/Bbm(add♭6)
