In this lesson we're looking at 9th and 13th chords. These chord voicings are very common in jazz guitar playing, so it's a good idea to get familiar with them. Like with barre chords, we rely on common shapes so that we can play 9th and 13th chords all over the neck.
Lesson aims
Learn the common shapes for 9th, 11th and 13th chords
Be sure to mute strings that shouldn't be ringing out
If you have a loop pedal, try creating a loop with these chords and then solo over the top of it using the chord tones
