F Dominant 7

F Dominant b13, written F7b13, is built from F, A, C, Eb and Db: the root, major 3rd, 5th, minor 7th and flat 13th.

Its 3rd and 7th, A and Eb, are its guide tones: they say what kind of chord it is, so voicings are built around them and the root is often left to the bass. B7, a tritone away, has the same two notes the other way up, so it can stand in for F7b13 as its tritone substitute.
