E 11 Chord on Tenor Guitar

Play E 11 on Tenor Guitar: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.

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 Tenor Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.

The D and A strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 6 over a 4-fret stretch. E falls on the G string. It sounds from F#3 up to A4.

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 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.
