"Now let's talk a little about the 11th cord again this is a dominate 7th type cord so we begin with the notes of the dominate 7th cord and continue by adding some extensions to this cord. And in this case we're dealing with the 11th of the cord so you can think of the 11th as the 4th degree; one octave higher, it's essentially the very same note only raised up an octave. So in the case of C; if we think of C in the 4th degree of C we have C 1st degree, D 2nd degree; E 3rd degree, F 4th degree so F is the 4th degree; F is also the 11th of this cord. So we can start by playing C dominate 7th; the notes are C the root, E the 3rd; G the 5th, E flat the flat 7 and we can add F to this cord in some configuration; in this case we'll play C, B flat and F; that suffices for a C11 cord."
