Recently picked up a 13 stringer, a beautiful Ram Speakeasy retro steel.



I have the standard Alkire tuning on the top 10 strings, and added a low E, A and D (with the D tuned half a step higher than the 10th string's C#). just mapped out the chord possibilities.

These are all full 3 and 4 note voicings, straight bar position through out:

Triads:
1. Major, 1st inv, 2nd inv
2. Minor, 1st inv, 2nd inv
3. Sus4
4. Sus2
5 dim
6. Aug

7th Chords:
1. dom7, 1st inv, 2nd inv, 3rd inv
2. m7, 1st inv, 2nd inv, 3rd inv
3. Maj7, 1st inv, 2nd inv, 3rd inv
4. mMaj7
5. Maj6th, 1st inv, 2nd inv, 3rd inv
6. m6, 2nd inv, 3rd inv
7. 6/9
8. 9th
9. Maj9
10. C add9
11. 7-5
12. 7+5
13. Dim7
14. m7b5
15. aug7
