Ebaug#11 Guitar Chord | Play, Hear and Practice Interactively

Eb +(#11) position 1 guitar chord diagram

Eb augmented sharp eleven (written Eb+(#11)) takes its name from its interval stack, the root, major third, raised fifth and sharp eleventh, which gives the notes Eb, G, B and A. The lowest voicing starts at fret 5 and the highest reaches fret 7.

Without a seventh it lacks the pull of a dominant seventh chord, so it works as a colour chord. The chord tones all belong to the Eb whole-tone scale, a good starting scale when you improvise over this chord. Moving in and out of it gets easier with smoother chord changes.

Use the player at the top of the page to hear how the chord sounds strummed and when its notes are played one by one.

Eb augmented with sharp 11th guitar chord is also written as Eb+(#11), Ebaug(#11), Eb+#11 or Ebaug#11.
