A 13 Chord on Greek Bouzouki

Play A 13 on Greek Bouzouki: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.

The A 13 chord is an extended or altered dominant that stacks ninths, elevenths, thirteenths, or chromatic tensions over a dominant-seventh core. It is built from the notes A, B, C#, E, F#, G. This page shows how to play A 13 on Greek Bouzouki with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.

The A string ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 1 over a 4-fret stretch. The root is the A string itself. It sounds from C#3 up to F#4.

Greek Bouzouki is tuned C–F–A–D, with 15 frets to work with. Voicings are computed for this tuning by the shared voicing generator, not borrowed from another instrument; each course is charted at its fundamental, so the octave strings on the two lower courses are not drawn.

Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on A or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
