Recently we have introduced a productive form of gamma and beta functions and applied them for generalized hypergeometric series [Filomat, 31 (2017), 207-215]. In this paper, we define an additive form of gamma and beta functions and study some of their general properties in order to obtain a new extension of the Pochhammer symbol. We then apply the new symbol for introducing two different types of generalized hypergeometric functions. In other words, based on the defined additive beta function, we first introduce an extension of Gauss and confluent hypergeometric series and then, based on two additive types of the Pochhammer symbol, we introduce two extensions of generalized hypergeometric functions of any arbitrary order. The convergence of each series is studied separately and some illustrative examples are given in the sequel.
