The „minor eleven“ – notated as m7(11) or mostly abbreviated just m11 – is a minor 7th chord with an additional 4th. Because the 4th is a chord extension (it doesn't belong to the basic chord consisting of root – 3rd or sus2 or sus4 – 5th – 7th or 6th), it is written as 11 in the chord symbol. The 4 only occurs in sus4 chords.
A Bm11 has the notes B (1), D (m3), F# (5), A (7) and E (11). In practise you will often omit the 5th, because you take it and go down a whole-step (2 frets) to get the sought-after 11.
There is actually no theoretical reason that should prevent you from extending a minor 7th chord with an 11. Just try if you like it and if you feel it fits the musical style or song.
must know
You should memorize these chords, if you are using this chord type frequently.
moveable
You can transpose these chord shapes to any different key just by moving the whole chord shape along the guitar fretboard until the squared spot represents the new root.
capodaster
The pleasant sound and sometimes easier playability of an open chord can be put into practice by mounting a capodaster on the indicated fret. Of course that may goe along with the disadvantage of not being able to use the frets lower than the capo anymore.
