Typically found in jazz, an eleventh chord also usually includes the seventh and ninth, and elements of the basic triad structure. Variants include the dominant eleventh (C 11, C–E–G–B ♭ –D–F), minor eleventh (Cm 11, C–E ♭ –G–B ♭ –D–F), and major eleventh chord (Cmaj 11, C–E–G–B–D–F). [1]
In jazz music, the lydian chord is the major 7♯11 chord, [1] or ♯11 chord, the chord built on the first degree of the Lydian mode, the sharp eleventh being a compound augmented fourth. This chord, built on C, is shown below. This is described as "beautiful" and "modern sounding." [1]

A seventh chord is a chord consisting of a triad plus a note forming an interval of a seventh above the chord's root. When not otherwise specified, a "seventh chord" usually means a dominant seventh chord: a major triad together with a minor seventh.
Lowercase. o. c o. Dominant seventh. Uppercase. 7. C 7. For instance, the name C augmented seventh, and the corresponding symbol C aug7, or C +7, are both composed of parts 1 (letter 'C'), 2 ('aug' or '+'), and 3 (digit '7'). These indicate a chord formed by the notes C–E–G ♯ –B ♭.
Extended chord. For chains of secondary dominants, see Extended dominant. Dominant thirteenth extended chord: C–E–G–B ♭ –D–F–A play ⓘ. The upper structure or extensions, i.e. notes beyond the seventh, in red. A thirteenth chord (E 13) "collapsed" into one octave results in a dissonant, seemingly secundal [1] tone cluster.
Sevenths on suspended chords are "virtually always minor sevenths" (7sus4), while the 9sus4 chord is similar to an eleventh chord and may be notated as such. [3] For example, C 9sus4 (C–F–G–B ♭ –D) may be notated C 11 (C–G–B ♭ –D–F).
As such, a jazz guitarist or jazz piano player might "voice" a printed G 7 chord with the notes B–E–F–A, which would be the third, sixth (thirteenth), flat seventh, and ninth of the chord. Jazz chord-playing musicians may also add altered chord tones (e.g., ♭ 9, ♯ 9, ♯ 11, ♭ 13) and added tones.
As with "sus4", a "sus2" chord can have other scale degrees added (e.g., A sus2 (add♭7) or A sus2 (add4) ). (♭9) (parenthesis) is used to indicate explicit chord alterations (e.g., A 7 (♭9) ). The parenthesis is probably left from older days when jazz musicians weren't used to "altered chords".
A major ninth chord (e.g., Cmaj 9 ), as an extended chord, adds the major seventh along with the ninth to the major triad. Thus, a Cmaj 9 consists of C, E, G, B and D. When the symbol "9" is not preceded by the word "major" or "maj" (e.g., C 9 ), the chord is a dominant ninth.
