Thirteen



While building seven chords we assumed that the root, third and fifth would be present.

Likewise, in a Nine Chord we assume the seventh is present;

in an Eleven Chord we assume the ninth and the seventh; and

in a Thirteenth Chord we assume the eleventh, ninth and seventh.

So   …   Using the E♭ Major Scale outlined below, what would the notes be in an E♭13 Chord?

There is A LOT of information in that little E♭13 chord symbol.

What does it tell you about the third? the fifth? the seventh if there is one? Anything else?

Remember that sometimes the information is relayed by what's not in the symbol and sometimes by what is!
