E Dominant 7

E Dominant #11, written E7#11, is built from E, G#, B, D and A#: the root, major 3rd, 5th, minor 7th and sharp 11th.

Its 3rd and 7th, G# and D, 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. Bb7, a tritone away, has the same two notes the other way up, so it can stand in for E7#11 as its tritone substitute.
