D#11, or D# dominant eleventh, is spelled D#, F##, A#, C#, E# and G#. It is the same chord as Eb11, and charts choose that name to avoid the double sharp.
The three voicings listed for it are all barre shapes beginning at the 1st fret, so they sit close to the nut. Written this way the chord needs an F## and an E#, which are just G and F in disguise. The D# Mixolydian scale contains each chord tone.
Each note appears labelled on the fretboard in the player above.
D# dominant 11th guitar chord is also written as D#11, D#dom11 or D#7(11).
