Example6 combined 13 flavours in a reggae fusion style

TRACK 41

This example uses small fragments of mixed 13 chord voicings against the root movement in the bass. Notice in bar 7 the addition of the 11th (F) on the fourth string for the Cm13; and in bar 11, D6m11 sounded better in the progression (this voicing can also be viewed as Emaj9 no 3rd). Take care when playing a reggae rhythm part that’s syncopated against the beat – it can be tricky as you can easily ‘wander’ against time. Use a phaser or chorus for extra vibe.
