This Jazz Piano Tutorial is about Extended Chords. I cover how to think about, build and play extended chords.

Basic chord structures:
Major7 (1, 3, 5, 7) - can be extended
minor7 (1, b3, 5, b7) - can be extended
Dominant7 (1, 3, 5, b7) - can be extended
Diminished (1, b3, b5, bb7) - CANNOT be extended
Augments (1, 3, #5, b7 or 7) - CANNOT be extended

Chords can be extended with:
9
11
13

And these extensions can be flattened or sharpened.

Other types of chords include
Major6 (1, 3, 5, 6)
minor6 (1, b3, 5, b6)
sus4 (1, 4, 5)
sus2 (1, 2, 5)

Chords are written with the highest extended note on top. So for example a
C13 has the notes, C, E, G, B, D, F, A (includes the 9 and 11)

If you want to play just the 13 without the 9 and 11, you would write it as follows:
C7 add13
This denotes a dominant 7 chord with an added 13 (no 9 or 11)
