C#m11

— About this chord

C#m11 stacks the minor 7th and 11th over a minor triad for a lush, cloudy, modern color that avoids the 3rd's stronger definition in favor of a floating quartal sound. A neo-soul and contemporary R&B staple, it works beautifully as a i or iv chord for laid-back, atmospheric grooves and Rhodes-style comping. Movable shapes let it slide easily across the neck.
