If you're learning to play chords on the guitar, you may want to find out how to play a C11 chord. While the C11 chord requires you know how to barre the chord, it's a fairly simple chord to learn to play.

11th chords (which are the same as the 4th) are played by adding an 11th to a dominant 9th chord.http://www.chordmine.com/guitar-chords/chord/chord_19.aspx  This chord requires only one finger to play, making it quick to learn and easy to master for those who are capable of performing barres.  C11 chords have been used in the music of artists such as Rod Stewart, The Who, Oasis and U2.http://www.chordmine.com/guitar-chords/chord/chord_19.aspx 

Take your first finger and place it along the third fret, pressing the first, second, third fourth and fifth strings simultaneously.http://www.theguitarlesson.com/free-guitar-chords/C-11-guitar-chord  Called a barre, this chord can be intimidating at first, but will become easier to play as you practice.http://guitar.about.com/c/ht/00/07/How_Play_Barre_Chords0962934244.htm  Pull the body and the neck of the guitar closer to you to make this chord easier to play.http://guitar.about.com/c/ht/00/07/How_Play_Barre_Chords0962934244.htm 

When your fretting hand is stable, use your strumming hand to strike five strings, starting from the fifth string down to the first, leaving the sixth string completely untouched.  Strumming is all about rhythm and accuracy, so be sure to start slow, increasing your speed only when you are completely ready.http://www.i-love-guitar.com/guitar-lesson.html
