Music theory question?

[IDK! Go away!]

When you're naming chords and stuff, what does the bVI mean? More importantly what does the b in front mean? Please help!

i think its a b chord 6. LOL cuz i see A7 or w/e but i think bVI would mean a chord 5? so a b5 so a b chord and change it the 5th key? it'd make much mroe sense if u were playing on the guitar. lol

bVI could mean the the sixth chord of key B, OR the flat/inversion of the sixth chord of whatever key you were playing in that piece. These types of chords appear in any instrumental music ie. piano or guitar. haha~ have fun!

i think it's the second inversion of the sixth chord. does ur paper tell u anything about the key?
