Nakaktuwa lang...what is the Mu chord? according to Wiki... The reference to this chord as mu major has been popularized by fans of the jazz-influenced rock group Steely Dan, as well as by the band members themselves. This chord is used extensively in their work, often arpeggiated at the end of musical phrases. The mu major sound is a distinctive idiom of Steely Dans style. In a 1989 interview with Paul Zollo,[3] Walter Becker explained that the use of the chord developed from trying to enrich the sound of a major chord without making it into a jazz chord. Usage of the chord itself had been present for decades in jazz music from bebop to free jazz, and was especially present in the Jazz-funk era from the late 60s to the early 80s. Notable users are, amongst many others and for instance, vibes player/composer Roy Ayers, and pianist/composer Herbie Hancock. The chord/voicing technique was the same, just not named as such.
