D Dominant 7

D Dominant #11, written D7#11, is built from D, F#, A, C and G#: the root, major 3rd, 5th, minor 7th and sharp 11th.

Its 3rd and 7th, F# and C, 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. Ab7, a tritone away, has the same two notes the other way up, so it can stand in for D7#11 as its tritone substitute.
