Ebm11 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.

How to play the Ebm11 chord on piano

Split the recommended voicing between the hands: play Eb3 and C#4 with the left hand and Ab4, F5 and F#5 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 Bb can usually be omitted from an extended chord, keeping the sound clear and the voicing manageable.
