Gb6(#11) Guitar Chord - Guitar Chords Chart

Gb6(#11) is the Gb sixth sharp eleventh chord: root Gb, major third Bb, fifth Db, major sixth Eb and sharp eleventh C. The C is the raised fourth of the Gb scale, placed an octave up.

The Gb Lydian scale holds every note of the chord and is the natural source of melody notes. The sharp eleventh is what sets Lydian apart from the plain major scale. Its twin, F# sixth sharp eleventh chord, spells the same chord F#, A#, C#, D# and B#, so the two names sound identical.
