An Eb11 chord, or Eb dominant eleventh, has Eb, G, Bb, Db, F and Ab inside it. Take the major triad (Eb, G, Bb), add the flat seventh (Db), the ninth (F) and finally the eleventh (Ab).
Three voicings are listed, all of them barres, with the lowest at the 1st fret. A dominant chord like this is the kind of V chord you meet in jazz chord progressions, where it resolves up a fourth to the tonic. The Eb Mixolydian scale contains all six tones.
Press play to hear the sound in full strums and as an arpeggio.
Eb dominant 11th guitar chord is also written as Eb11, Ebdom11 or Eb7(11).
