The E 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 E, F#, G#, A, B, D. This page shows how to play E 11 on Classical Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
There is no open-string version on Classical Guitar: the lowest shape barres fret 7 and covers 1 fret. The E string stays silent, so 5 of 6 sound. E falls on the A string. It sounds from E3 up to B4.
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 E 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.
