Good question Eddie.
9th chord contains 7th inside,it's called 9th chord cause 9th is the higher note. Same with 11th,it has 7th,9th and 11th. Same thing with 13th as well,we simply build it using thirds and up the scale. Of course,ALL these chords have root,3rd and 5th. You're probably asking,how to play all those notes together,I have only 6 strings? Well,we kick out some notes,usually 5th,sometimes even 3rd. Add chords,it means that we simply add 9th,11th or 13th,whatever. We add it on main chord which has root,3rd and 5th. Per example,G11 chord has notes G,B,D,F,A and C(notice that minor 7th interval is displayed as 7th, major 7th would be maj7,F#) And Gadd11 would be, G,B,D and right onto C,no 7th and 9th between. Hope this clears things a bit. -------------------- Youtube

Thank you Muris, this clears a lot... One more question: the 7th interval is always minor (unless specified) for 9, 11,and 13 major chords? When you see maj7th,then it's major 7th interval. Per exmaple,G7/9 and Gmaj7/9. You can write this G7/9 as G9 only cause minor 7th is included(different rules/schools) but if its major 7th then you have to write it extra. -------------------- Youtube

Yep,same rules,only opposite to 7th,major 3rd is included,minor needs to be written extra
but you know that already I'm sure. You're welcome Eddie. -------------------- Youtube

Usually they are highest,per example if you play 9th in octave lower you'd get 2nd,
11th would be 4th,13th'd be 6th etc. In other words,9th should be 9 degrees from the root while some other notes might be higher than the 9th,per example 3rd,5th etc,depends of grip. But if you pull 9th an octave lower it'd be 2nd and you'll be missing the sound of 9th, that's the deal. -------------------- Youtube

I combine shapes I've learned before and I make them "in a walk" using proper notes.
Depends of chord and sound to determine now many strings I'd use for chord. Sometimes it's 3,4,5,6 including skipping here and there, per example I play lower note(usually root) on low E or A and I do rest of the chord on top 3 strings,sort of things,no strict rule. Good practice is to play whole progression using one position,3 or 4 frets, that'll help you understanding chords and their relations. -------------------- Youtube
