The Big Book of Polychords

 

 

 

The Big Book of Polychords is a 327 page reference devoted to the topic of polychords and their application to the Chapman Stick.

 

The Big Book… is divided into two sections. The first section covers terminology, basic left and right hand chord glossaries, chord combination diagrams, and fundamentals of polychord construction.

 

The second section contains over 250 pages of chord combination tables identifying a multitude of polychord constructs for each of the 12 keys.
