Dominant 7th Sharp 11th Chord

🎵 Adds a bright, floating quality to the dominant sound, characteristic of the Lydian dominant scale. The sharp 11th (augmented 4th above the root) creates tension with the 3rd. Use it to create a tension that feels airy, mysterious, or wondrous rather than aggressive, common in jazz, fusion, and film scores. It often resolves to a major or major 7th chord.

Also abbreviated as: 7#117#4

With all 5 notes and C as bass, it is also: C7#11
