The Power Of The Mu Chord 

cows, gig advice, heavy construction gear... this infoMUcial has it all

one use of the moo chord that sounds beautiful is a descending arpeggio, using sustain, resolving to the next chord's root. Such as D,G,C,E resolving to the root of the next chord, F major

This is great. Such a rich and wonderful treasure trove of musical ideas and objects in the incredible Steely Dan repertoire. The Mu Chord is stuff of legend.☺

I love Adam's reaction to the moo sound at 9:50 hahaha

5:41 Peter is right, that would be a "C2" That would imply "C(2)" or "C (add 2)". If suspended, the specification of "Csus2" is necessary.

LOVE the 🐄 chord!!! ❤

but Becker and Fagan explicitly said that the relation of the second and the third in Mu chord must be a whole tone. So this is not the original Mu chord, it's a mutation of it. Get it? Moo-tation.

You guys are just the best out there. Thx for sharing your inspiring wisdom. ❤

Is the stevie wonder song Too Shy to Say? with the pedal steel? Just got super into that album this week and those notes seriously caught my ear haha

I love how Peter crashes the start of the conversation on the main topic (watch it to see what happens). The discussion on gigs and pay was helpful. The concept of listening seems quite applicable there too - you need some guidelines, but every situation is different, and it's important to be open and receptive and curious so that you have a clear picture of the entire situation, and that should be welcomed.

If you add the note a major third above the bass note you get an altered chord with the root in the bass instead. Very nice and often works as a substitution for some variation and extra crunch. E - G# - D - G - C instead of E - D - G - C. works well before Fmaj, Ebmaj, Ebm7 and Am7. :D

Thanks, guys! Your channel is the best!

on whether to take a gig, i've been using the two out of three rule: good money, good music, good people. that is a game day rule right there.

05:33 yes, it‘s a two chord. the nine is the name for the two an octave up. this D happens within the first ovtave. so 2. not 9. (fears that jazz police will waterboard him now)

That's funny when Adam did his first Mu chord as C Maj add 9 with the E in the bass, on guitar I've always played those exact notes as an E min 7#5.

It’s kinda like a Neapolitan chord in the sense that it’s a chord only used when the third is in the bass. But Mu seems like it’s pretty much only used in a jazz setting

Isn’t the FU price dependent on how many MU chords you play! 😉

Great!! Thanx

awesome voicings but please any music sheet when for mu chords descending

Could MU stand for M_a j o r U_n d e r n e a t h ? If that is incorrect :-\ it could be a mnemonic I guess... . Thumbs up + subscribed.

It's no "Moo", it's "myoo".

The Mu fighters are a good band

The μ price! 😂

As much as I love the cow sounds and puns…pretty sure it’s pronounced like mew if it’s the Greek symbol. Great stuff though!

What‘s the Allan Holdswoth (rip🐐) tune that opens with that chords…? daaaamnnnnn….it‘s on the tip of my lips….

Does steely dan use the the Mu chord in Black Cow? It be a lot cooler if they did

I thought A MU Chord is a major triad add9 with the 3rd a tone away from the add 9

I guess the Mu is a nickname for add9 just like powerchord is to the 5 chord 🤔

Thanks so much for bringin the keyboard display back! I was struggling with my meagre relative pitch 🙋‍♀️🫡

Isn't it pronounced "mew"?

This video is about the Mu chord and the FU gig.

Peter needs a ChatGPT spinoff show.

Here's a fun explanation of the Mu Chord folks might like, too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8jmREPDEU5Q.html

I believe when I fall in love is the stevie wonder song!

Hey Adam, can you sit in with me at my cousin’s birthday party? I’ll pay you $5000. Lol

I just realized MU is an abbreviated version of "Major 9 drop 2".

Hmmm too shy to say?? I know the kenton chart well (:

So Mu sical…

🐮

The AI references are not funny. Can the novelty wear off soon. Really not a high point of your repertoire. But the conversation after was very good.

Love chat gpt, it just makes up shit😂😂😂
