Great teacher

Thank you for sharing, Andy. I’ve used the first inversion b4 but now will be trying to incorporate the MU chord using your suggested tips. Beautiful playing by the way. Thx again !

What string gauge do you have on there? I found going from 9s to 10s was a massive improvement with these pickups.

Great stuff. Going to purchase. If you are more into blues than jazz, could you imply the ii V licks when going lets say from the I to the IV chord?

Magnifique Bravo Monsieur ‘Pourais tu nous expliquer l’improvisation de Spain de Chick Chorea.‘Merci Beaucoup ❤.

Andy, you are amazing. Your Guitar sounds great. how do I get that sound? Amp and settings

Can you tell us what your signal path is? Your guitar sounds really amazing. I think you would probably sound amazing regardless of what you're playing through. Your playing is off the charts. Thanks.

Superb choice of notes, playing and sound 👌

Great 👌

Thank you!!!

Cool lesson, Andy...👏👏👏👏

Amazing.Love this version Andy 👌

Great sound. Walter Becker said that he thought of it as a major add 2 (&/or add 9 I guess - main thing is to keep the 3rd in the chord).

I think the people saying "this isn't beginner level" are confusing beginner Jazz with beginner guitar. They're not the same. You don't start with Jazz if you are just a beginner at guitar. That's like trying to learn how to dance before you're even able to walk.

Your humor is on point! 😂

ANDY, make a lesson about how hendrix used 6/9 chords and slash chords mostly used on songs on the Axis Bold as Love Album. He would use his thumb to play the slash bass note

What year and model is this Guitar place? Really like it.

Hey Andy, 🙂 It could be my eyes but visually I thought I was looking at, say in the case if that first 'F' example, basically an A minor 9th. Apologies if I've mistaken it. Also, fun fact: Re Steely Dan. When I was on world tour some years ago, Rick Derringer came to see a show. He had just come off Ringo's tour (and did something with McCartney too). Hr walked up to me and shook my hand, complimented my work and introduced his wife. So the three if us hung out the next day. Was one of the highlights of my career. I could go on an on. 🙄 😆

FWIW, I seem to recall in another Steely Dan discussion that what Walter and Donald labeled the “MU” major chord, was a four note cluster of: R-2-3-5. Think Rikki Don’t Lose That Number. (even though it was Michael O’Martian who played the actual piano part) Not arguing, just raising a point.

Another great video, and you sound amazing as always, but there is one important thing that you are missing: what the "mu chord" really is and where it came from. First, it was an invention of Fagen and Becker called the "μ major chord", so they used the Greek letter, but they pronounced it "moo major", like you (I thought it was "myoo", like the Greek letter, so thanks for setting me straight). They introduced it to the public in the Steely Dan Song Book that came out after Aja. The definitive info is from their own words which can be found by going to the Steely Dan entry of Wikipedia in the section "Composition and chord use" and following the reference links (currently #83 and #84). The first shows the text of the introduction to the Steely Dan Song Book, and the second is an interview with Walter Becker. They say that the mu major chord has notes 1-2-3-5, or some inversion, *but* "Inversions of the µ major may be formed in the usual manner with one caveat: the voicing of the second and third scale tones, which is the essence oaf the chord's appeal, should always occur as a whole tone dissonance." That means that your 3-2-5-1 voicing (a drop-3 of the 2-3-5-1 first inversion mu major chord) is not itself quite officially mu major, but it has still come to be called "the Steely Dan chord" in some circles according to Walter Becker in the interview: --- Q. Are there other chords [other than mu major] you can name that defined the Steely Dan sound? W.B. The particular chord that people have mentioned to me is a chord where you have, in the key of C, an E in the bass, a D, a G and a C on top. Let me pick up my guitar for a second... (picks up electric guitar and plays chord). It's an extension of the "Mu chord" if you will but you move the third, the E; into the bass. So it's a C major chord with an E in the bass. (As well as the major second.) I've been told that in some circles this is known as the "Steely Dan chord." I don't know if that's true... It's a chord we used over and over and now it's become kind of a generic fusion cliche harmony. There's a lot more sophisticated harmonic stuff going on now than there used to be so a lot of this stuff is in the public domain. --- So that "other chord" is the one you are calling mu major. This is a bit of a fine point, but they didn't call the 3-2-5-1 "mu major" even though it is an inversion of mu major and it helped define their sound. "Mu major" "was kind of a joke, that name", according to Becker. It's obviously just a major add-2 chord, but they defined the "mu major" to be a touch more specific: the whole tone dissonance of the 2-3 had to be there. So putting the one 3rd into the bass means it isn't mu major.

MU ? ha ha ha ha ha ha

Always great lessons Andy! Thanks!

One of my favorite Chords

Great lesson, great ideas for using this chord, which I usually only use when playing Steely Dan songs like Deacon Blues or Peg!

I've always thought of this as a m7#5.

Excellent tutorial ,as usual. Thanks!

Espectacular. Thank You Andy

Great lesson.👍

I so appreciate this lesson; the awesome lick from one of my guitar heros, the connection to the altered scale, the demo. You rock (in a jazzy way)!

That’s Beautiful D Angelico. Had a 335 style one that was turquoise. Beautiful guitar. Played it at one gig and I was tuning every 5 seconds.

you are gold ,,,

Great playing, sweet AF - backing track avail?

everything about your channel is first rate; production values, editing, content, playing, tone, ideas. all amazing. I seriously don’t know how you do it!

This is fantastic! The chord progressions alone are really cool to learn… then to have the lines explained, great stuff!

Really like the C9 to C6 slide up move. Sounds really good !

Your licks are great and perfectly executed. Very enjoyable and useful UA-cam channel.

The solo is hardly poor and needs no help at all! 😂😂😂😂
