Hi Guys,

Just a quick look at the “Mu” chord or the “Dan” chord in this 1st inversion example.

Here we employ a 1st inversion F Major triad[ A in the bass] and add an added 9th note G:

In the next example we create a sequence with the Mu chord. Notice the Bass moving down in 1/2 steps creating nice smooth movement.

In the next sequence we will exploit the minor chord: Again, notice the smooth chromatic bass movement. [This is also reminiscent of guitarist John Scofield]

Lastly, no “Mu chord” but a repetitive “Dan-esque” melodic chord sequence:
