Eb11

We've featured a number of dominant chords and an alternative 11th inversion on guitar chord of the day before.. This Eb11 inversion has its root on the A string as indicated by the black square in the chord diagram.

11th chords can be played in the place of most 7th chords, in place of chord V in major keys. It also quite often precedes a dominant chord e.g:
Eb11 /Eb7

Technically 11th chords use these degrees of the major scale: 1, 3, 5, b7, 9, 11 however in practice the 3rd and often the 5th are usually left out.
Eb11 uses these notes: Eb, G, Bb, Db, F, Ab
Our inversion uses these notes in the this order: Eb, Ab, Db, F with an additional optional Bb on the top E string. Eb11th can also be thought of as an Db major triad with an Eb root note, this is written as a 'slash chord 'Db/Eb'.
