Today we're going to learn to form an 11th chord. It's just like the 9th chord, except you move your left thumb up from the 3rd of the chord to the 4th -- which in this case is known as the 11th, because it includes a 9th and a 7th under it. So the formula for constructing the 11 chord is :
An 11th Piano Chord =
Get your chord in 2nd inversion, add the 7th and 9th, and also add the 11th
(Remember that accidentals carry over in each measure!)
(The lowest note in each case is the root of the chord -- even though I have shown them above directly under the chord, be sure to play that note before you play the chord, and use your sustain pedal to "hook the two parts together". Here is a chord char for you.
