Chord of the Day #5: G13

I haven't done a 13th chord yet, so it's time. G13:

X5345X

Like that D11 from earlier, this voicing doesn't contain the root note. The perspicacious will recognize it as a D-6/9, which is certainly what it should be called when playing it as a D minor chord. It's also a G13, with the fifth degree substituted for the root. The third (B), flatted seventh (F), and thirteenth (E) are what really define G13, so they're all you need to play. Note that those are the defining notes on C#7#9 and CΔ11 as well. If you play in this reductionistic way, your bassist can decide for you what chord you're actually playing.

I'm running out of gas on these. I suspect I'll thin them out to a more sustainable pace, maybe 2-3 a week. I'll consider this a success as long as it's not zero per week.
