How to play A♭m6 on banjo

The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the two strings from the F♯ to the A at the 2nd fret, your middle finger on the low D string at the 3rd fret and your ring finger on the high D string at the 3rd fret. Don’t play the short F♯ string.
