Is this considered a short sale?

I have a seller that owes $46k on a house. He wants to get rid of it so bad, he'll sell it to me for $40k which is a good deal on it. He will bring $6k to closing table to make up difference. Would this count as a short sale? Technically the bank is getting all their money but sales price is less than current loan balance. 

Would this require any special process or approval by lender?
