The most common use of them in Guitar is the 'slash' chords - playing one chord with a different note in the bass. Best example I can think of right now is playing an open C Major chord with the bass on G (Third fret of sixth string instead of third fret of fifth).

That's a poly chord. Pianists use them differently - playing a different chord with each hand. We can do that too by tapping triads with both hands. Bumblefoot does this with some interesting results...

A Polychord does not need to have more than 7 notes...


If im not mistaken ( and I may be because this is a new concept to me) it sounds like what your describing is really called the first inversion of a triad in theory?

does 1st inversion invert the 5th or 3rd interval? Who can tab out this legandary poly chord?
Bass guitar is the answer to everything
