This is something that has always puzzled me. Perhaps I am going about this the wrong way but when I build chords I always build them based on the scale that corresponds to the quality of the chord. For example...
CMaj7 = C-E-G-B ; Same notes that are in the CMaj Scale
Cmin7 = C-E♭-G-B♭ ; Same notes that are in the Cmin Scale
C7 = C-E-G-B♭ ; Same notes that are in the Cmix scale
CM6 = C-E-G-A ; Same notes that are in the CMaj scale
but....
Cm6 = C-E♭-G-A ; Same notes as the c min scale except for A (Should be A♭)
Why does Cm6 have a major 6th interval and why is it not built on the minor">minor scale?
