Please Note: Because 13th chords are made up of 7 notes, they are impossible to play on a 6 string guitar. At least one note is always omitted and sometimes more than one depending on the shape of the chord. In these charts the 11th note (C) has been omitted and sometimes the 5th (D) or the 9th (A).
