(actually, no @Barney got there first, thanks, nice chord, I think I need to cut my finger nails)
my favourite (right now) is 0.11.13.0.0.0
Formula 1.3.maj7.b3/#2.5.1
Picked / sequenced / arpegiated (sounds rank strummed!)
I guess that is Emaj7#2 (or major/minor), but I suspect that it can be viewed in different ways.
an interesting clash of major and minor thirds, and the minor third and major 7th
bugger all idea what to fit around it, or over it ~ any ideas / theory, etc (this is a "work in progress")
A less zesty version is 0.2.1.0.0.0
Eminor/maj7 ? ~ Formula 1.5.maj7.min3.5.1
P.S. I *may* have been listening to a bit too much Nick Johnston recently

Amin7#5
(at least I think that's what it is)
x.0.3.0.1.0
Formula 1.#5.7.min3.5
(or 1st string 3rd, or 1st fret)
(1.b6.7.min3.5 or b6)
(or with an F in the bass = 1.0.3.0.1.0)
or barre it up the neck...
The song starts in C.
After the last verse it’s the “always starts to cry oh cry-yeah - <key change>” bit. The run starts on d minor and is:
d minor (al-)
e minor (ways)
f minor (start)
g minor (to)
Ab Major (cry)
bb minor (oooo)
c minor (oh-oh)
Magic Chord (Oh -)
Transpose to Bb Major. (I’m a man of many wishes)
And the magic chord is: 76766x (the 6th fret is barred). Great chord.
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
I discovered it when I did a bit of Googling in my attempt to write a Steely Dan sounding backing track for this month's Solo of the Month competition. If you Google 'Mu major' you'll find plenty of references relating back to Steely Dan.
It's a bit tricky on guitar, but easy on keyboards.
I also discovered, in writing the backing track, that the Mu major can be placed over a non-root bass to create and interesting minor voicing: for example F Mu major (ie F, G, A, C) over D.
Three of the four chords in this month's SotM backing track are based on the Mu major (one over a non-root bass) if you want to hear the sound.
[ just out of interest, these chord voicings remind me of something I've heard somewhere on the Bark Psychosis album Hex - , not sure if they are exactly the same or not, but for me they do evoke a similar kind atmosphere/mood which I really like ]
Sweet D chord
x56430
Formula 1:3:maj7:1:9
or add a 5th in the bass with your thumb
or x56422 for a unison on the maj7
or x56400 for maj6, maj7 and 9 ~ nice
3x3211 or 3x3200 or 3x3100
also nice in sequence...
2x2200
or variations
4x4400
5x5500
3x5500
have fun !
130000 or 132000
0x4100 or 0x4200
or fill it out ~ 024100
(By root major I mean like a Cmaj7 in the key of C major, but in that case it would be G2 with no 7th)
I have no idea how it works, though.
You'd have to call the G# and Ab to be enharmonically correct.
Then its a version of EmMaj7addb11. Pretty nice and disgusting both at the same time haha.
