Good overview and I agree polychords are easy on piano (use two hands), not so much on guitar. We all probably play inversions or some form of these without even knowing what we are playing. Nice challenge here to make sure we know what we are playing for easier application. Plus if you are playing with a bass player, they will cover your bass note for you if the chord does not lend itself easy to play.

Great lesson Tom! We never went over polychords at GIT when I was there so thanks for this. Always great to improve the chord vocabulary. I miss MI a lot man hope to see you again sometime on one of my return trips there. Later man! Seth Worsham
