Great course on building chords through thirds. The dom 7th is not referenced when adding a 9, 11 or 13. As long as the minor 7 tone is in the chord, the top third takes the title as in Ab13th. Robin is correct here, but a few people added their thoughts on this and I would hate to be the one to correct Mr. Ford since he was correct. When the 7th tone is missing from the chord, it’s Ab added 13.
Somebody commented about his singing of the tones and I agree that more players needs this.

First heard him when I bought a Tom Scott and the L.A. Express album in 74. I had my head buried in Ted Nugent BS and after hearing Robben solo, I knew I had heard something special indeed. Blew my freaking mind and we had no internet back in the day to find out who this cat was. He’s affected my playing so much and I’ve grown more in the last couple of years because of his through provoking teaching and style. Do a wiki search and read up on this giant. Got his start with Charlie Musclewhite.

simply it is the d- mewlodic minor scale. Get an interest, how baroque players would have handled before you ignore at least three hundred years of evolving.
stay cool.
