| Polychord and Upper Structure Voicings |
|
| The basis of a polychord voicing is to play two different chords at the same time, such as one in the left hand and one in the right on a piano. The relationship between the two chords determines the quality of the resultant chord. These are always two handed voicings on a piano, or five or six string voicings on the guitar. They produce a very rich, complex sounds. |

| Adding color to that major chord |
|
| Adding color to basic major chords is pretty easy. Say your playing a C major chord and you wanted to add some color to it. You could add a 6th,7th,9th,11th etc from the C major scale to add that color. In theory a basic major chord is built on the 1,3,5 intervals of the major scale. If you wanted to play a major sixth all you would need to do is add the 6th from the major scale to the 1,3,5 formula to make up a C major 6 chord with the formula of 1,3,5,6. |
