It is far more than that
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
It spells out what the 6th means in more detail, and gives further rights, like confronting witnesses and counsel, a speedy trial and an impartial jury!
Those are not mentioned in the 6th!
Big difference in the 2.

6th applies to criminal matters -- the "accused".
7th applies to civil matters -- when one person sues another
