Unlock the Secret World of Funkosaurus: The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Pop Culture Icon
Another feature of Funk music is the use of dominant seventh chords, often simply referred to as seventh chords, which are different from major seventh chords. And it is common to add the ninth or thirteenth as upper extensions to the these chords (but not the eleventh because it will clash with the major third of the chord, which lies a half-step below it). Sex Machine, by James Brown, utilizes an Eb7 chord within the guitar part, which adds the 9 as an upper extension, and also interjects the 13 periodically.
