: '''''R - 3 - (5) - 7 - (9) - (11) - 13'''''
 
13ths are typically dominant-function chords, regardless of the exact notes they contain. The 9th and 11th are omitted, with the 3rd and 7th creating the tonality of the chord, with the 13th (6th + 1 octave) extending the harmony, giving a very jazzy vibe. The 13th is almost always a M13.
== Dominant 13th ==
: '''''R - M3 - (P5) - m7 - (M9) - (P11) - M13'''''
 
The most common type of 13th, the <u>Dominant 13th</u>, uses the typical dominant chord M3 and m7, plus a M13 (~M6). The m7 and M13 form a M7 interval between them, so it's important to space them out in the voicing.
