The chord in the sixth grid is a C13, but it is also an F#7(#5, #9). Without a root in the bass, there's no way to choose one name over the other as the correct name.

you're right about the name since that particular voicing contains neither a C or and F#. it also could be called Emin11b5,Gmin6/9,Bbmaj7#11, and perhaps a few more, so I suppose one must make a value judgment and call it something that makes sense in the context it appears in. Personally I think of both C7 and F#7 simultaneously, then I don't have to worry too much about what to call it. Thanks for watching and sharing your ideas.

Stay with it, It;s challenging but possible if you go slow and steady.

Great job man! I wish i would have you as teacher. U nailed down exactly what was Ted's intention: write something to start with and make it useful for your own puropose. I think i do like from Ted is the ability to play indipently the bass line and make the melody work swiflty through the voicings...so naturally! i'm working on it and i assure you guys it will take a lot of time! and i'm not sure i'm gonna make it ;)

@telebasher What a great Ted blues sheet! Do you know of any others as good as the ones you've youtubed already? I think you've selected the three best I've ever seen from Ted on the blues.
