Oh, probably. There are a lot of weird chords like that.

Here's what to do, go on this link ;  http://www.8note.com/

Click on the guitar, this is a great site for guitarist, very informative, it even has a free electronic tuner. As for the Chords that you want to know about just name the chord and they show you how to make it.....if there is no such chord they will also tell you that. I hope that this helps !!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Yes to cmin13. The notes are C, D, Eb, G, A, and Bb. There probably is with the A7b11

Answer 4

Cmin13 is the same as Cmin6.....The difference is that the 6th note is played as the last note in the chord.

As for A7b11.... no such thing.... The b11 is like playing an aug 3rd.... Duhhh!!!

Answer 5

LOL DENISE!!!

Um... yes and yes!  Those crazy cats who play that jazz all night long... what were they thinking?!?!  Hahaha.

There are better ways to notate them, as Left-T said, but if you really want to make things hard on yourself...

Cmin13 is a Cmin7, with an implied extension of 9, 11, and 13.

To spell it, start with the Cmin7, then add the extras...

C Eb G Bb... D F A.

Yes it is dense and thick and doesn't imply any sense of tonality (other than maybe a minor or even a diminished sound), but depending on the chords that surround it and what notes a soloist chooses to emphasize, it could be pretty hip.

As for A7b11...

A C# E G B Db...

Obviously C# and Db are enharmonic, but with theory- and especially in jazz theory- you are always looking for new ways to classify and justify chords.  The two notes SOUND the same, but depending on the voice leading going into and out of it, you may actually NEED to write in both!  

For example, say you’re in the key of “G Major”… the A7b11 would function as a secondary dominant (V/V)… which would resolve to the dominant (which in “G” is the D7).  So if you resolve the Db from the A7b11… it resolves down to a C natural of the D7 (D7 = D F# A C).  

*EDIT:  C# wouldn't resolve down to a Cnatural, because diatonically, it's incorrect.  It would have to resolve down to a B#... then where the heck would we be?!*

I think this is the only instance that you would use it, but yep- they’re both chords!

God I hope this is right... lol ;)

Couldn't find anything on the A7b11.  Maybe you could try to invent it.

Edit.  Here's some additional information.
