Simplest is with the A pedal, strings 5, 6 & 9 at the 8th fret.

What Ian said ^
And you can do a cool diminished run playing that chord up every three frets to be able to resolve all over the place.

I believe there is a 9th in a 13th also. That would be the seventh string or 1st.

The 9th is not essential but it can sound good depending on the context. It would be the 7th string rather than the 1st. On the universal that I play 7 can be lowered to give a 13b9 which is very cool! Sadly that change is not available on E9 (although where PSGs are concerned you should never say never :) )

How about 6th fret strings 8 , 6 ,5 lowered half step and 1 ?

Another incomplete but very handy voicing would be fret 5 B pedal down strings 6,5 and 4. You could use strings 10, 8 and 3 to mix up the voicing.

A cool spot that isn't handy would be fret 5
8th string raised a half step , 6th string B pedal, string 5 and then string 3 (B pedal) open.

A 13th shell chord is 9 6 5 with A pedal.
Spelt out it is 7th 3rd and 13th. That's all you need.

WOW, THANKS FELLAS, I WANTED THE C13 FOR MORE TENSION ON THE RIDE FOR CHOO CHOO CH'BOOGIE IN THE KEY OF
G WHICH WOULD BE THE 4TH CHORD "C." YOU GUYS HAVE GIVEN ME SOME GREAT OPTIONS TO PLAY

I REMEMBER JEFF NEWMAN PLAYING THE 4 CHORD ON CHOO CHOO THAT HAD GREAT TENSION ~ COULD
HAVE BEEN A B9 AS HE WAS PLAYING A UNIVERSAL.
