How to play C♯m6 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the three strings from the D to the B at the 2nd fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 4th fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 3rd fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 4th fret. Don’t play the low E string.
From the low E string x 4 2 3 2 4 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier C♯m6
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your middle finger on the D string at the 6th fret, your ring finger on the G string at the 6th fret, your index finger on the B string at the 5th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 6th fret. Don’t play the low E and A strings.

Yes. C♯m6 is C♯m with the major sixth, A♯, added, the dark and mysterious sound of minor-key jazz and film music.
