The Nashville Number System: Part 1

The Nashville Number System: Part 1

“It’s 1465!” shouted the bass player as the bandleader counted off the tune. I did my best to keep up and play the guitar part as we began the tune. On that bandstand many years ago was my crash course in the Nashville Number System. Since that time I’ve seen, used, and written this notation numerous times.

This lesson teaches the basics of reading and understanding the Nashville Number System notation and how you can use it to notate a lot of musical information quickly and effectively.
