The G# major thirteenth chord (G#maj13) is a lush, expansive chord that adds a layer of complexity and richness to music. Built from six notes—G#, B#, D#, G, A#, and E#—the chord starts with a major foundation of a root, a major third, and a perfect fifth. Then, it adds a sixth, a major seventh, and finally a thirteenth, which is the same as the sixth, but an octave higher. This gives it a full-bodied sound that is often used in jazz and soulful ballads to create a sense of sophistication and emotional depth. The G#maj13 can be found in chord progressions where a touch of elegance is needed, often serving as a beautiful resolution or a transition that enriches the musical narrative.

Even though the notes remain the same, the overall sound and feel of the chord changes depending on which note is the lowest.
