E 7add11 Chord on Violin

Play E 7add11 on Violin: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.

The E 7add11 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, G#, A, B, D. This page shows how to play E 7add11 on Violin with clear fingerboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.

The D, A and E strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes stopped in position 1. The root is the E string itself. It sounds from G#3 up to E5.

Violin is bowed, with a bare fingerboard and no fixed stops, so this is really a double-stop study: two strings at a time speak cleanly, and the full stack is rolled rather than sounded at once.

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.
