If you want to find a song that uses the 7#5#9 chord, then you’ll have to listen to some jazz tunes. Jimi Hendrix: Foxey Lady, Purple Haze, Voodoo Child ![]() Here are some popular songs that use a 7#9 chord:Īllman Brothers: In Memory of Elizabeth Reedīeatles: Get Back, Helter Skelter, Tax Man I have an article on the Whole Tone Scale and in the article, I mention a number of popular songs that use a 7#5 chord. But you can look at the 7#5#9 chord as a combination of the 7#5 chord and a 7#9 chord without the 5th. You can use it in a song that has a strong major scale feel or as the V7 chord in a blues tune.
