As a former session and gig musician, I absolutely love the Nashville system. However, I could only imagine how quickly my church would devolve into chaos if I tried to introduce such a thing! Church musicians arent very good at learning new things, and usually actively resist learning. Ive been leading/playing on worship teams for the last two decades and cant think of a single instance where this would have been welcomed. Nice tutorial though, except that minor chords always get lowercase Roman numerals (I see another commenter already pointed this out). Keep up the good work, and may God bless you!

Hi Spencer. Thanks for a good, solid basic introduction to the system. A couple of thoughts/comments for you if that’s OK: 1) often the Nashville number system when written as Roman numerals uses uppercase for major and lower case for minor chords. You might want to consider mentioning that in your next video. 2) i’m looking forward to hearing your reasons why this is so important. I get that it can be super valuable for a transpose and keys on the fly. What I’m hoping you will address is providing some ideas around song memorization. Many people seem to argue that the Nashville system is easier for memorizing songs. However, I don’t find memorizing a list of numbers sticks any better than memorizing a list of letters when it comes to worship songs. Do you have any tips for that? Again, thanks tons for your video. Looking forward to the next one!

Hey Duncan! 1) You're right! I thought about that after I had already recorded the video. Thanks for pointing that out. 2) The next video in this series is going to cover everything you talked about including tips for memorizing music. Glad you're here!

@@LeadingWorshipWell Spencer, I appreciate your trying to teach the number system for worship. I'm in a worship band as well. I'm also a musician and producer in Nashville. I must tell you that the scale you are teaching...major, minor, minor, major, major, minor, diminished, is not the Nashville Number system. The NNS is major, major, major, major, major, major, major. There are no minor chords in the NNS scale. All the chords in the NNS are major! This scale 1, 2m, 3m, 4, 5, 6m,7dim, is similar to Roman numerals and figured bass, which dates back to the 17th Century. It's concept states that you can't use any notes that are not part of the scale to form the chords in a scale.Thus you can't use the F# to form the D chord in the key of C, thereby making in a D minor. THIS IS NOT THE NNS! This scale and it's concept does not apply to the NNS. The only way to have a minor chord in the NNS is to attach a suffix as in 2- or 2m. I realize that there are many on line who are teaching this faulty concept but it is wrong. Chas Williams has written the best book on the NNS. On page 15 he writes, "A major chord needs no symbol. The number by itself always means that it is a basic major chord. Minor chords carry a minus sign to the right of the chord number, 6-." The key word in that quote is..."ALWAYS." Go on line and look up NUMBER THEORY THE NASHVILLE NUMBER SYSTEM - PAUL FRANKLIN. A little research will validate what I am telling you. I know you are sincere in what you are doing and that you will want to teach this accurately. Don't let anyone dissuade you, no matter who it is, if they are preaching this false concept, they are wrong...Trust Me! Blessings to you!
