So, does that mean you get:
Dom 7: 1, 3, 5, b7
9th: 1,3,5,b7, 9
11th 1,3,5,b7, 9, 11 (or 2)
13th 1,3,5, b7, 9, 11, 13?
How many of those are correct? Do you mean that since a 9th has a major 3rd that they all do, we're just adding another note on top each time?
The 9th you'd normally play, is that a major chord?
It also just occurred to me that as you start playing more complex chords, since "melody loves chord tones", you could almost start playing anything in the lower half of the scale!? ie for a 13th, you've got 1,2,3,4,5, b7 as chord tones!
OK, next rule of thumb: what about minor 9ths, etc. Is it a minor b3 or b9? Or both? Is there a general rule there?
