Cb Dominant 7

Cb Dominant #11, written Cb7#11, is built from Cb, Eb, Gb, Bbb and F: the root, major 3rd, 5th, minor 7th and sharp 11th.

Its 3rd and 7th, Eb and Bbb, are its guide tones: they say what kind of chord it is, so voicings are built around them and the root is often left to the bass. F7, a tritone away, has the same two notes the other way up, so it can stand in for Cb7#11 as its tritone substitute.
