C6= 5 1 3 6
Am7= 7 b3 5 1

aye,thanks mosh,quick question,what not would i add to.make it a 13th chord?

From that position it would be hard. A 13 chord uses the formula 1 3 5 b7 9 11 13. Since this is a 7 note chord it can not be done on a 6 string. Most will omit the 11. From the root you are using,3rd fret A string, this would be the one I would use...

e----5---

B----3---

G----3---

D----2---

A----3---

E--------

1 3 b7 9 13 (NO 5th) Mixolydian plays well over this
You may find THIS interesting ;)

so a the formula i could use for a 13th chord in any key would.be

1-3-5-b7-9-13

or if you want just the 13th note in the chord you could try an add13. depends on what you wanna do

would all thes be accetable c13 chords?

E---|-5--8------

B--1|-5--10---10----

G--2|-7---9---9----

D--2|-8---8---8-----

A--1|-------------

E---|-8-------8-----

@bbt that might help l8r on,thnaks

@gs I play in church so I have a bass, piano, organ and keyboard playing along. I let those guys hold down the bass notes and I will play just the higher strings just to fill in. A13=

--7

--7

--6

--5

---

---

7 3 13 9 or for a full sound

--5

--7

--3

--5

--7

--5

1 5 7 3 13 5 (NO 9)
And yes all of the forms above could be used.

@mosh i see,you play have of the seven notes in a 13th chord,while the bass and keys play the other half.very cool indeed,thanks for the help brother.
