Yes, you are correct. The G13 chord should include an F# (the major 7th) instead of an F (the minor 7th). The correct notes in the G13 chord would be G, B, D, F#, and E.


To make it more comfortable to play on the guitar, you could consider omitting the fifth (D) and only playing the other four notes: G, B, F#, and E. This will still give you the essential character of the chord without making it too difficult to play.
