6-note (11th chords)
Technically 11th chords include a root, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th.
But '11' is also used to mean a 7th chord with an added 11th and no 9th (sometimes called 7add11) -
In addition, C11 is sometimes used as an (incorrect) shorthand for C9sus (R, 4, 5, ♭7, 9, ♭11) which has no 3rd.
So the 'rare' 3rds ar bracketed below.
The only common 'real' 11 chord is a min11 chord. #11 chords, however are often found.
