So in the eleventh fret, and it's the seventh chord, so you want to play this...and you can get that fifth in there with your ring finger. It might take a little time. You also can play this chord, which again is, if you barre the ninth fret and play the eleventh fret on the first, the third, and the fifth string, and that takes a while to get that chord as well, so we like to use this chord which is a nice easier different barre, and hold down on this fret. But those are a couple similar chords and it all falls on that flat seven or our E flat seven, as compared to our F major scale.
