Sure, tri - tones you use all the time: EBb / CEGBb, OR EBb / DGC, SUPERIMPOSED CHORDS / POLY CHORDS IS ONE CHORD ON TOP OF ANOTHER A WHOLE STEP AWAY...WITH THE ROOT CHORD IN THE LEFT HAND: EBb / D, IT'S GOOD FOR THE m2 AND THE m6th, AND A JAZZY ENDING. { ** = SUPERIMPOSED, * = TRI - TONE }

DC / Dm
ED / C
GbC / E**
GD / F
EbBb / Gm7
GD / F
EBb / DGC*

Ok...its taking me a long time to understand what the definition for a superimposed chord is.  I know i may do it...But I dont know the real way to say "oh, its just a superimposed Bb chord".  So say I have a Db chord in my right hand.  What goes in the left??~!?

Ok...its taking me a long time to understand what the definition for a superimposed chord is.

A Superimposed chord is a chord structure that layers a chord on top of another....C7 / D7...instead of using the whole chord, you'll use part of the root chord in the left hand: EBb which is the tri-tone of C, the bass pedals will play the C and you'll play the 9th or m2nd scale degree of that root, and it'll be a major chord: C / EBb / DGbA, it's also a poly chord, and an open voicing, different names..same chord

Ok.  i think I got it....I do that sometimes, but I never knew what the definition was for it...thanks!!!

You guys are a joke (SisterT, 4hisglory, Long Fingers, Dooley…).  You guys are too little to be apart of my big world.  Now, I see that being on this board is really just a waste of my time.  And since some of you find it hilarious to delete posts, I took the liberty of deleting my own posts.  For all others that wish to contact me regarding chords, runs, theory and songs, my email address is mjfeltnerjr@yahoo.com.

Correct me if I'm wrong,  but I tend to use what you guys call poly chords
to do 11ths and 13th  chords.

or example  
CEG/BbDF  ==  C11  == I / b7th

CEBb/DFA ==  C13  == I7/ IImin

Now I still havent really gotten the concept the tritone.  I mean I have played it ( I've seen it written  on sheet) but I'm not used to its sound so
I'm having trouble trying to figure where it would go for a desired effect.

for example,  where  in a 6 2 5 1 progression, could I place a tritone?

thanks

The tritone is meant to act as a dominant seventh chord.
For example

C/EBb/DF#A

This is a C13#11.

The pedal would be the root.  The left hand chord is a tritone which is the 3rd and 7th of the chord with no 5th.

Try these out: in C

1 = C / CEBb / DGC
6 = A / DbG / B
2 = D / DC / FGCEG
5 = G / GF / E
1 = C / CEBb / DGC
~~~~~~~~~~
1 = C / CEBb / DGC
#6 = Bb / DAb / C
2 = D / GbC / E
5 = G / GD / F6
1 = C / CG / EM7(b5)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 = C / CG / Bb
b6 = Bb / BbDAb / C
#2 =Eb /  EbAb / F
5 = G / GF / BM7(b5)
1 = C / CG / EbM7(b5)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THESE ARE VARIATIONS OF WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THEM, DEPENDING IF YOU PLAY A MINOR OR MAJOR SONG...HOPE YOU LIKE THEM, JAY.

Hammondman, thanks.

I been so busy trying them, I forgot to reply back.  The sound takes  a little getting used too. but I think I got the hang of where I can fit them  in a progression when I need that type of "feeling"

Thanks again!!
