To build most fancier chords, you have to take a regular triad (root-major 3rd-perfect 5th or root-minor 3rd-perfect fifth or root-minor 3rd-diminished 5th) and add a note or two to the chord. Sometimes, certain chord voicings omit notes from the base triad, like the 3rd or the 5th - for instance, this particular C#6:
A string = C# (root note)
A string = C# (root note)
D string = F (or E#, major 3rd)
G string = A# (major 6th)
B string = C# (root note)
The perfect 5th, G#, has been omitted for this particular voicing. Placing your thumb behind the 4th fret of the Low E string could be a possible way to add that note, if you choose to do so.
