I want to add that this is gold. The teacher, the material, how it is presented, the examples, the keep-it-simple approach; it's all there. This is excellent and I don't have enough thumbs to show my true gratitude for this free lesson. Rock on!

I've been watching a lot of videos on the Nashville Numbering System and most of them spend 10 minutes explaining the "numbers as chords" concepts. I've been thinking "there's got to be much more to this." Thank you for getting into the weeds and explaining the more.

This is very well presented, especially in the way he explains what is used in the session world, and contrasting it with standard notation. I especially dig the fact that he's wearing a newly-purchased fitted shirt, fresh from it's wrapping. Glad he got all the pins out before wearing it.

To those who might be confusing the traditional 2, 3, 6 minor...7 dim progression with the NNS, pay close attention beginning around 21:00. Dave has it exactly right that in the NNS chords are ALWAYS considered major unless the number is followed by a suffix as he indicates. A 6 by itself indicates a major chord...ALWAYS. A 6 minor will likely be written either 6m or 6-. You may argue if you like but, if you don't believe me or him, you probably have never followed a Nashville chart. Thanks, Dave, for getting it right!

If Nashville is the "Athens of the South" for 'education' like we claim, why aint we using Roman numerals, with lowercase numbers?

@philippetoudic2423 3 жыл бұрын

I've heard that borrowed chords are indicated by flats (or sharps). So you might see (flat)3 or (flat)6. The system assumes major mode and makes changes to that as needed.

@72cpugeek 7 жыл бұрын

the 6 is a minor it just depends on mode and the genre !

@dba4292 4 жыл бұрын

Or you could just say that in any major scale 1 4 5 are major chords 2 3 6 are minor chords and the 7th is diminished. So C major would be C Dm Em F G Am Bdim. But yeah, the 6 is indeed a minor chord; *if* were in the major scale. The minor scale is different and C major parallel minor key is A minor because they share the same notes Am Bdim C Dm Em F G just notice that 1)the order is different since we began on the Am and that 2)our 6th is now a major chord (F). Good news is that with this system you instantly know which chords are major and which are minor in any given major or minor key. You simply, as the system explains, count. Just make it second nature by memorizing the numbers and forget about the notes' names.

Really nice video, well explained!!! But I think for example in Jazz, the sheet will be really confusing, because there are a lot of key changes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems to be really confusing.

@JuddOakes 5 жыл бұрын

This is used for simple pop or country songs which are typically in one key unless they modulate then they would use the mod notation Jazz uses key of the moment alot so actual names with Roman numerals make sense

@jannatinkarlen8702 3 жыл бұрын

I don't know, I am not jazz player, maybe it will be still usefull because most key change are using modal interchange. If that is the case, it definitely still useful

@MusikeXavier 6 жыл бұрын

What is the advantage of this system over the standard notation? Is it only that, in case you can't read music, you can learn the Nashville System faster? The standard notation gives you so much more details than this system does, but I guess it's just a simplified form of writing general directions to perform music, perhaps similar to figured bass when Bach was around.

@LisaMiller 6 жыл бұрын

It's not just a case of 'not up to the task'. Every singer has a key, and it can be a different key for every song, where the voice can develop its true potential. My favored keys are normally between D and G, but depending on the song, could be even higher or lower. The difference of a half-step can mean the difference between very ordinary or spectacular results. Your job as a musician is to make the singer sound good. I hope I do not sound condescending, but I have run sound for my husband's band for 10 years and that's 'the rule' for musicians. I appreciate so much your wanting to do the very best for your singer.

I love how smug he got when asked a relevant question after 8 minutes of testing our ADD levels. This kind of instruction is the reason many people never learn anything useful in the typical education system. I almost didn't last long enough to get to the 8 minute mark in this video. The only thing that kept me awake was the pack rat shuffling the shelves in the back of the room. I am going to continue watching just to see if he actually says something interesting. EDIT - OK, I got through this and my view of this presentation hasn't really changed but he did finally get to the heart of the subject (after 8 minutes of rambling) and I learned some things about the Nashville Number System that I didn't know previously. I guess it is true - "If you're talking, you're not learning anything". I'll shut up now.
