beginners/intermediate might find my article on chords & scales for composing useful
It talks about what notes to omit, how to tell what scales work over what chord and vice versa.
Take a look at - http://jrtheories.webs.com/significant-notes Criticism is always welcome and I'll gladly help anyone having trouble, there are quite a lot of articles over there on more advanced topics too |

Thanks for the link! I've just read through a bunch of your theory articles and there is some very interesting and useful stuff there.
I quite enjoy the composition side of music (multi-tracking guitar, bass, keys etc though nothing particularly complex or "fancy") and this has given me some new ideas and things to try. Particularly the modal stuff, I try to keep it in the back of my mind (and I guess it's there whether you're thinking about it or not), but I don't think I've ever tried to do something specifically to emphasise a particular modal sound. But that sounds like a fun thing to try |

Generally a 13th chord is regarded as (1-3-5-7-9-11-13). Functionally, you could play it like you said, as (1-3-5-7-13), but that would not have all of the tones of a 13 chord in it. |
