<u>Extended Chords</u> feature notes beyond the traditional triads, 7ths, and suspended 2nd/4ths. They are most commonly found in jazz, although some of the less complex ones can be seldomly found in other genres. The chords typically continue along the same route as the triads and 7ths, adding every other note from the root note. Although this goes past the octave, the number assigned to the additional notes continues to increment upwards from 7. For example, G B D F is a Dominant 7th; G B D F A is a Dominant 9th, G B D F A C is a Dominant 11th; and G B D F A C E is a Dominant 13th.
: '''Root{{9}}{{s}}11''' as in '''C{{9}}{{s}}11'''
The <u>Dominant 11th chord</u> uses the A11 rather than P11, making the interval between the M3 and A11 a M9 rather than a m9, a more harmonious interval, so we incorporate the 3rd into the chord. This along with the root have a rich interaction on the augmented triad formed by the 7th, 9th, and 11th. It appears very similar to a Dominant 9th, just with a flattened flatted 5th, and functions the same way.
