“Unleash Your Inner Funkosaurus: Transform Ordinary Collecting into a Legendary Adventure!”
Even though you could apply a funk feel to any type of chord progression, the majority of funk music is played over one single chord. This usually occurs as a part of a balancing act. If one component of the music is extremely active, it is common to balance that by having other components remain less active, otherwise a song runs the risk of sounding too busy and chaotic. And since funk rhythms tend to be quite active, this is often brought into balance with the rest of the music by simplifying the chord progressions, often down to just one chord for a song section, and sometimes for the entire song.
