For some reason I avoided recording this tune for a while-- but oh well, it's a classic for a reason :) Hope you enjoy!

Autumn Leaves (Fingerstyle Chord Melody)

Actually, the entire 4 bars could be played in the first position if you use open strings but it may sound country especially if you're playing a Tele. :pig:

About 10 yrs ago and another in the early 80s. Not a lot of that sort of thing in my area. The one from 10yrs ago had 9s on it - yuck!

Unfortunately I can't notate open strings with the Chord Writer app I have, but the top strings are open, so all the chords I posted, except for two, contain the 5th of the chord: the open G string....

Enharmonics

Were you able to play a GB10 before you bought one?

The OP's question is voicings of #11's with the 5th. I gave one example. There are others but the chord charts you posted seem to omit the 5th. Also I don't see any open strings in the charts.

And there are many C Lydian voicings with open strings - more than any other chord if you count Am7 & Em7 voicings. A couple of duplicates there but I can't edit the image....

I have a Ruck 2010 classical with a sound port. Ruck provided wooden plugs so you can plug the hole and tell the difference. There is a huge difference in the sound you're hearing as a player. ...

Sound ports?

My opinion: Hideous affectation. Never.

Sound ports?

This isn’t what you asked, but I’ve had an AR810CE for 17 years and I never put a strap button on it. I thought about it many times but it’s never been a priority. Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Barney...

Installing a strap button (where and which) on an Eastman 910ce-bd-tc

On a daily basis I’m often switching from classical/flamenco necks with wide FB’s to my Tele, with a moderately full C, to the full D of my Martin, to my archtops which have a moderate D. Plus, the...

Neck sizes and shapes

I always care about neck shape and size being somewhat ambidextrous,and writing with my left hand. Playing a right handed I’m sensitive to the feel, and having a large enough shape to feel...

Yeah! Apparently the Hammond, invented in 1935, was the very first synthesizer. It's just more dang skills to have to work up to work the switches throughout the tune. shreddin'
