These chords are played near the NUT of the guitar in the 1st position. Chords that use open strings are known as Open Position chords (A, C, D, E & G). All chords are Root Position chords as the lowest note of each chord is the Root with the exception of Ab which has the 5th in the bass.
Here are the Ma13 Chord Voicing Lessons, which are another way to play Root Position Ma13th Chords off the 6th, 5th and 4th strings using moveable block form patterns. They are called Voicings since they only use 4 or 5 of the 7 notes of a Ma13 chord for a more open sound.
In order to help learn the names of the notes of the Fretboard and for each chord they are written below each diagram. The numbers below the note names indicate suggested fingerings for the Right Hand. Beside each diagram is the Score with the chord symbol and Tablature.
