D#m11

— About this chord

D#m11 (Ebm11) piles the minor 7th and suspended 11th on a minor triad for the deep, velvety color that defines modern neo-soul and R&B chord work. Its open, unresolved quality makes it a natural static vamp chord — hovering rather than resolving, ideal for laid-back grooves and lush keyboard pads. On guitar it plays as a full 6-string barre grip (identical shape to Em11, moved up the neck); on keys it's built from stacked fourths. Also searched as Ebm11, D#min11, D-sharp minor eleven.
