Hi all,

I'm writing a new song that uses the chord below. (Note that all of the strings are played).

My question is, how do I notate this on a lead sheet? As you'll notice, there are multiple options below the fretboard diagram and I'm not sure which one to use. I'm inclined towards C#m (the song is in the key of A), but the "b6" and also the choice of C#m(b6)/E are making my head hurt.

[br]What's the simplest/easiest notation for a session musician to understand in the context of the key of A? (Also if it's helpful, it's preceded by an A and the next chord will be an E)

Thank you in advance for help.
