Dm11 Piano Chord

A dark, deep sound. Popular in jazz and neo-soul. Unlike the major 11th, the (minor) third is far enough from the eleventh that it doesn't need to be omitted.

Piano

Recommended voicing
Left hand D3 · C4 fingers 5–1
Right hand G4 · E5 · F5 fingers 1–4–5

How to play the Dm11 chord on piano

Split the recommended voicing between the hands: play D3 and C4 with the left hand and G4, E5 and F5 with the right. Suggested fingering is 5–1 on the left and 1–4–5 on the right (1 is the thumb). The perfect fifth A can usually be omitted from an extended chord, keeping the sound clear and the voicing manageable.
