What are Mu Major chords?
Apr 28, 2020
In today's lesson, I show you what are Mu Major chords, as popularized by the the rock-jazz band Steely Dan!
Those chords are awesome to get richer voicings without sounding too ''jazz'' with chord extensions.
In essence:
Regular chord: 1 - 3 - 5
Mu chord: 1 - 2 - 3 - 5
It's really easy to transform the open chords that you know into Mu chords. Here are the steps:
1) Pick your open chord
2) Find the repeated root note in it
3) Raise that note a whole step higher
Mu Major chords are most of the times more stretchy than other types of chords, because you enlarge the fret span by raising a note 2 frets above!
