How to play the F69 chord on piano

Split the recommended voicing between the hands: play F3 with the left hand and A3, D4 and G4 with the right. Suggested fingering is 5 on the left and 1–3–5 on the right (1 is the thumb). The perfect fifth C can usually be omitted from an extended chord, keeping the sound clear and the voicing manageable.
