How to Play 11ths Chords: Part 2

Video Transcript

CASEY CORMIER: Okay. So let's try to figure this out. It's kinda like a puzzle and it's better to figure it out this way sometimes in theory. We got--we have C, E, G; that's 1, 3 and 5. We also want a B flat, a flat 7. A D would be nice too and then the F. This isn't a workable shape right now. So we have to think of a way of getting the F up there, maybe if we use our bar right here. This works in a way. It's basically making a C7 bar chord and moving our fourth finger up to the 6th fret of the D string to catch the F an octave higher. This could be a workable shape so this would be an E flat 11. Okay? Now, let's see if we use the low E string, we want ideally 1, 3--we want the 5 too--7, 9, 11. Let's see what we can get. We know the 11th is what we really want on top. G is here. You can do something like this or the dominant. Okay? This can work either as 7th--as minor xi or dominant 11th chords. You don't have to worry about the 3rd.
