Videos like this make the music learning journey worthwhile. I feel like I was given a new box of presents that I get to unwrap and explore.Thank you for the work that you do
Thank you so much from Zimbabwe this is the only video from all previous l came across that explains clearly and l now understand secret behind creating chords combinations❤
What an eye opener. I played slash chords for years now, but only with simple roots or roots and fifth in the left hand. Never thought about putting two full chords together (though it seems emberassingly obvious now 😆). Especially the soloing options and the millions of possible harmonic variations make it intriguing. Plus the feasibility to explain harmonies that would be hard to grasp on otherwise! Simple and effective 👌
This is great. I want to explore more of the altered dominants such as Eb/A7 = A7b9#11. This has changed my way of thinking about how to build and deploy more complex chords.
I took notes on your ideas, and will work on them on the piano. But I'll watch this again to see how you resolve them. And I think there is a way to work the circle of fourths into this to really make something special.
I note that the Hendrix chord, on a guitar E G# B D Fx, (E7#9), becomes a polychord if you rewrite the Fx as a G. You then get E G# B D G, a G chord on top of an E chord.
I have been playing these chords for decades, (especially the left-hand minor chord with a right-hand major chord)--I never knew they had a name. Fantastic video!
Your lessons are PURE GOLD. Harmony always was very hard to me to get into, but your lessons present it in a very practical way which is easy to understand by illiterate rockers like myself. Kudos to you sir, avid watcher of your material !
Thanks fam, I’m quite late to the party but I Learned something new and had an idea while watching this, I had a jump out of bed moment and had to rush to my piano, I appreciate the knowledge!
You left out one of my favorites. Play a dominant 7th chord in the left hand (F7), and a major triad which is a major 6th above that (D triad) in the right hand. So, D/F7. In effect it is an F13th with a flat 9. This polychord also works even better if you just play the root and the 7th in the left hand (F and E flat) with the D triad in the right hand. Excellent video, BTW.
Thanks Ernie. There are probably too many (good) variations to reasonably cover in any one video, but the idea is to get people to experiment, which I hope this video did!
Interesting, so as you said F13th with a flat 9. In this voicing the 3rd is doubled and the 11th omitted. I like it. Scooping out that doubled 3rd and the 5th in the left hand doesn't matter functionally, brilliant.
Thanks for your guidance in 2021 and providing another lightbulb moment. Best wishes for 2022 and I look forward to receiving more excellent tips and instruction.
Lots of great concepts in this video. Thanks for posting this! Noticed a few comments with viewers confusing this with slash notation. I find it easier to read polychords when they are notated with a parallel line rather than a slash. (I find it less confusing because the upper chord is played with the right hand and the bottom chord is played in the left -- similar to treble clef and base clef.)
Yet another excellent, professionally delivered, presentation! Superb work showing how the wonderful sounding yet theoretically, and notationally, complex polychords can be conceived and played with great effect. To any new visitors to the Mangold Project channel, I strongly urge you to have a look at the collection of videos in the ‘Piano Lessons for Beginners’ and ‘Inspiring Piano Harmony, Chord and Voicing Tips and Tricks!’ playlists - there are a few ‘secrets’ in there that will greatly help your appreciation of music theory and practice - wish these lessons had been around 20 years ago when I was first getting started with piano and theory! Just to make it clear, these videos are focused on playing and are not theory-heavy but if you know a bit of theory you’ll immediately appreciate what is being presented.
I'm just an infant in piano but I hope to keep playing and enjoying every step of the way until I reach this lesson.Thank you so much, Teacher!!! With love and deep respect.🙂💕♥️
Progress update, yep whole first line done. I get carried away and start to loop that and improv on guitar over it. Its such a fun stuff to improv over. Its gonna be a PITA to learn all of that in defferent keys tho, thats what im worried about
I always thought a notated slash chord meant you simply play first chord / bass note. So for Cmin7/F you'd play F G Bb C Eb But I usually play a melody in the right and it seems a big stretch if you have to do two triads with the left hand.
Came here to say this. A slash chord indicates a chord with a specific note in the bass. If you want to notate a polychord, you would notate it as you do fractions in Math. Meaning a chord OVER another chord with a straight line in between.
Exactly. For simplicity when typing, in addition to the traditional use of a horizontal line to indicate a polychord, it has become acceptable to use the vertical divider character to indicate a polychord (e.g., A|C). But as commenters above have stated, the slash character ALWAYS indicates a chord played over over a *bass note*, NOT a polychord. I wish this presenter would correct and re-upload this video, which otherwise contains helpful information.
A very good explanations! They sound good on the piano but thinking about the colours of an ensemble or a windband, polychords work very well using one chord for a section and the other for another: trumpets mute-on and clarinets under the brake.. nice mix!
Two things stand out to me after watching this video. The first is that I always thought of slash chords as one chord with an altered bass note. Stacking two chords on top of each other never occurred to me. I speak here as a songwriter and music programmer and not as a keyboard player. The second thing that stood out for me was the potential of using this for sophisticated arpeggios. That is where I saw the application of this in my own compositions if I was able to incorporate this kind of theory into my music.
The slash notation usually represents an altered bass note, but it's also used for polychords. However, there is no standard notation for polychords really, and you should be very careful to ask whoever notated your sheet music what they meant.
You can also refer to it as 5 over 1. I prefer to approach playing in this manner. It's just easier for me. I learned piano as a kid by ear. Took lessons later in life. Already knew the theory. It's like being unlocked. Nothing is out of my reach now. I was a good player before. I've experienced exponential growth in the last year because I knew the theory and now I understand how to apply it as a keyboard player. A totally different experience than being trained as a woodwind player or guitar player. My former main instruments. Thinking like a piano player is very different. The theory is far more important.
@@MangoldProjectThe standard notation for a polychord is the two chord letters stacked one above the other with a horizontal line between them. This is how you tell the difference between poly and slasher.
First. As another user also pointed out. The correct notation of polychords is one chord symbol above the other separated by a horizontal line. Slash chords are used to indicate the inversion (bass note). Second. The very reason for the existence and usage of polychords is not convenience but something completely different. Personally I find it very confusing to think about an extended or altered chord as two chords. This destroys completely my harmonic thinking, which I need for soloing and playing in general. More importantly: the very essence and reason for these constructs is missing. I leave the details of this aside here.
Dont know if you rushed though the chords but example 1:38 That could be a FMajor7/ Dm7 or F/Dm9..Depends how you look at it as a poly chord Always good to give the full example of the chord. With ear training i would be able to pick up on it but for new comers and those that look at chords like this they would wonder you have more notes then just F/Dm7 so that would be throw off to some. Other then that solid stuff
Two I like are a Maj triad a fifth above a Maj 6 chord., e.g. G/C6, which gives a C Maj chord with 6,7 and 9, with no notes repeating. It sounds good in pretty much any inversion. The second is similar, G/Cm6, which gives nice voicings for melodic minor chords. Thanks for this video. I particularly found interesting how frequently you use inversions.
Hey mangold project or Assaf hey man I just wanted to say that I’ve been playing the piano for 15 years & to be honest I never had no one Taught me how to play the keyboard or piano u want to know who my father in the sky god taught me how to play the piano & he actually taught me the easiest way & it’s a secret that I’ve learned a long time ago so I can’t tell u what secret it is but I can only tell how I actually started learning how to get better at chord & hopefully another perspective which helped me out when I first started playing the piano when I was little so yeah but anyways assaf thanks for the video keep it up!👍
@@anj10730 because I can’t give u guys the main secret on how I started I mean sure I don’t really know too much about how to play the keyboard as an expert but all I’m saying is that I started playing the piano because I love it & it’s a passion for me & basically when I first started a long time ago I was never interested in playing the piano but now I’m interested already cuz I’m already getting there at the next level to start my own career so I don’t know about u but me personally I started playing the piano or keyboard when I was 5 years old so that’s make sense because I personally enjoy learning on my own but thanks for asking.
I play guitar but watch your channel because you clearly explain complex topics. In your example @ 7:00 you suggest it is easier to think of Eb/A7 as two seperate chords when you invert it rather than trying to find the inversions of A7b9#11. I wonder if this is also true with the guitar given the layout of the fretboard. Any thoughts?
15:14 -> 'there are many others' Well.... if you ever feel like doing a follow-up video....:-) Cos this was a blast. Learned a ton ! Thanx for these lessons. . Thumbs up + subscribed.
Very useful. As a bass player, I'm less accustomed with polychords. With your exemple, I see a relation with tonal theory. You take triads and cadenza and V I or I IV give C over G for exemple. Or the relative chords, C with Am etc.. I've never thought so clearly like that, thanks. Sorry for my English, I'm french 😉
Buongiorno, voglio ringraziare particolarmente per quanto pubblicato....erano anni che cercavo qualcosa di simile ma ho trovato tanto in rete ma mai così vicino e chiaro riguardo al tema degli accordi sovrapposti. Mi dispiace che ovviamente il tutto non isa nella mia lingua anche se con i sottotitoli vado un po meglio ma davvero se potessi avere la possibilità di colloquiare in italiano Le chiederei di fare più di una lezione in privato.

Hi, please teach “Big Sky” by Cooliger. Thanks so much for all of your video tutorials and thanks in advance for considering this sincere request. Greatly appreciated 🎶💞🎶
Hi, Thoughts on why they sound so different when played back to front? E.G.: C/G instead of G/C? - i guess the bass note 'dominates' so now no dominant with C/G? Some general words of wisdom around why some notes 'dominate' in a chord? A doozy, i'm sure.
Very nice video. I've learned a lot but I have a question. At minute 17:00 you said that G is the Lydian mode of C and it is in fact Mixolydian. Maybe you can think the C as the Lydian mode of G but not the other way. Anyways, thank you again for the insight and keep doing this wonderful videos!
I thought that the forward slash indicated a chord over a * bass* note thus the term slash chords. Polychords - from what I understand - are written as the top chord name with a line underneath and the lower chord name under that...
The flat 9 #11 is a commonly used jazz chord. An easy way for me to remember it is to simply flat a fifth above and play a major chord. F# / C or A / Eilat
Please help me to clarify what the most correct way is to write out polychords. I thought that polychords are supposed to be notated using a horizontal line between two chords instead of a slash. The slash was used for slash chords which is a chord with a different lowest bass note than the root note. That would be the most logic way imho.
The horizontal line is probably by far more prevalent. I just carry the sloppy way of using a forward slash, which in retrospect wasn't the best thing to use in the thumbnail ...
Thanks for the video. I'm trying to get chord extensions ( major9 min11th etc) under my fingers.....would you recommend using poly chords from the start, to learn these voicing?
It doesn't matter. Both are equally valid approaches (extensions vs polychords). You'll eventually want to familiarize yourself with both, and either sounds equally good. So just pick the one that inspires you the most and pursue it - there's no "correct" path.
I am a beginner piano player. But ı do not have any keyboard. Can you recommend a keyboard please? I search for it in internet but everybody says something. I am confused. Help meee
I always thought that slash chords meant that you played an alternate base note in the left hand for example C/E. C chord in the right hand and E in the left hand.
Videos like this make the music learning journey worthwhile. I feel like I was given a new box of presents that I get to unwrap and explore.Thank you for the work that you do
The most influential video for me that shows the way of thinking about voicing.

Learning major, harmonic minor, melodic minor kinda scale helps find these chords and opens up a whole new perspective. Things get very intersting.

The flat 9 #11 is a commonly used jazz chord. An easy way for me to remember it is to simply flat a fifth above and play a major chord.
F# / C or A / Eilat
Thank you for taking the time to explain polychords,
Why is the fmaj7 over the am ? Because it’s a perfect 4th? But why is it minor tho I thought only two major7 went well together
How do you make that piano sound so nice? When I create a midi file, it sounds super electric
Are enharmonic names used in composition just to notate it for a key signature?
Please help me to clarify what the most correct way is to write out polychords. I thought that polychords are supposed to be notated using a horizontal line between two chords instead of a slash.
