The 11th chord is begins like the major triad, and just goes up to the 11th scale degree. Now there are only 7 notes in the major tonality with 8 being the octave, 9 being the second, and 11 being the 4th. As for suspensions, there are many different kinds, so its hard to answer. Suspensions in music give a feeling of tension and release. A common occurence is the 4-3 suspension. In the key of C a 4-3 suspension would start as C-F-G and resolve to the major triad C-E-G.

Hope this helps

Here are  some simple formulas for  11th  chords
 
   Major 11th chords

  (1) Take any note (root)  left hand
  (2) count down a whole step and form a triad (right hand)
  (3) place the triad over the root
  (4) Example C/D =D11       d - c  -e - g


 Major 11th chords

   (1) take the V7 chord
   (2) place over the tonic root
   (3) Example  G7/C = Cmaj11

 Minor 11th chords

  (1)Take any note (root)
  (2) go up a 4th
  (3) add a 4th
  (4) add another 4th
  (5) three stacked 4ths = a minor 11th chord

example Dmi 11 ...... D -G- C-  F

Good luck :idea:

Is this the process you follow to form your 11ths when you are playing?

Do you mind the thought process you follow when you want to play 11ths in songs..

I just think of them as 4ths with 7ths in them..I play the 3rds most of the time, so all I really have to concern myself about are the 7ths of the chord I intend to play next..the 4th is not that much of an issue because I know it's either a whole step above the 3rd (minor) or just a half step (major).

That's how I think of it before I hit the chord..so what I do think about more is the voicing of the chord..but that is primarily determined by the melody note for me..

I hope all this makes sense.
