It's generally impossible to voice 7th chords in 1st, 2nd or 3rd inversion close voicings, because the 7th occurs on the same string as the 8ve. Instead voicings are named as close (root position, R 3 5 7), high-3 (3rd raised an 8ve) and low-5 (5th lowered an 8ve). A high-3 low-5 voicing is possible (5 R 7 3). With 7 strings, a high-3-7 voicing is possible (R 5 3 7).

Sixth chords are hard to voice. A close voicing in root position is generally impossible, because the 6th occurs on the same string as the 5th. One solution is to play a riff that alternates between the 5th and the 6th. Another is to omit the 5th, but then the chord can be mistaken for a triad in 1st inversion. Another voicing is the low-6 aka 3rd inversion (6 R 3 5). But this is the same as the close voicing of the corresponding 7th chord, and again the chord can be mistaken. A good non-ambiguous voicing is low-5 (5 R 3 6), but it can be a difficult stretch. Other possibilities are high-3-6 (R 5 3 6), high-5 (R 3 6 8 5) and high-6 (R 3 5 8 6).
