The D 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 D, E, F#, G, A, C. This page shows how to play D 11 on Tenor Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.

The shape nearest the nut leaves the C, G and D strings open and takes the rest at fret 7. The root is the D string itself. It sounds from C3 up to E5.

It has a flat wooden top, so the same grip sustains far longer than it does on a tenor banjo.

Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on D 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.
