F# Dominant 7

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

Its 3rd and 7th, A# and E, 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. C7, a tritone away, has the same two notes the other way up, so it can stand in for F#7#11 as its tritone substitute.
