1.....2.....3.....4.....5......6.....7.....8.....9.....10...11....12...13.
You know by now how to make a major triad[1,3,5,],
and how to make a Maj7[1,3,5,7].
If you add notes beyond the seventh, is called "Extended Major Chords".
So, a Maj9 contains [1,3,5,7,9].

Maj11=[1,3,5,7,9,11]
Maj13=[1,3,5,7,9,11,13]
As you can see, you are taking every other note of the scale or what is called using "Thirds", count from "C" to "E", three notes. Right?
Now count from "E" to "G". You get the idea.
Doesn`t sound like German anymore. Does it?


Yes, I'm starting to see how this works a bit.
