The A 7#11 chord is an extended or altered dominant that stacks ninths, elevenths, thirteenths, or chromatic tensions over a dominant-seventh core. It is built from the notes A, C#, D#, G. This page shows how to play A 7#11 on Classical Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The A and G strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 1 over a 2-fret stretch. Both E strings stay silent, so 4 of 6 sound. The root is the A string itself. It sounds from A2 up to C#4.
It has nylon strings on a wider, flatter neck than a steel-string guitar, which is why it is played fingerstyle rather than with a pick.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on A or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
