That was one of the best explanations with real life examples I’ve ever heard. I’m a better person after watching this video.

Had jazz musicians for housemates once. Twelve of us in one house. They were always playing their instruments. There were two drummers, one guy who played sax, clarinet, and flute, a classical guitarist, two bassists, and a music composition major. That house was so much fun! We had a piano and a pool table- the piano by far got used more. I remember my buddy/housemate telling me one day that the most popular turnaround in jazz music was 3, 6, 2, 5, 1. I did not know what he meant by this, so he exlained it using the major scale tones 1 through 7; each when played as a chord would be major or minor, depending which scale tone it was, regardless of key. I came into a copy of Finale notation software, and for some reason I went into overdrive scoring chord progressions over the next couple years. Playing around with all sorts of voicings and inversions, usually sticking to 1, 4, 5 or 3, 6, 2, 5, 1. You did a great job of explaining this.

I really appreciate your video topics and tips about the Nashville music scene.

Thanks for the watch and the comment!

I half learned this system when I first picked up the guitar. I didn't know very much, and I couldn't read anything. My friend (jazz keyboardist) would drag me along to some church gigs he had. I got through those gigs with him calling out numbers to me during the songs. I could find the chords relative to each other, but couldn't have told you what the chord was. It was fun and stressful at the same time. I was lucky most gospel music is ridiculously simple. He brought me out to a few casual jazz sessions, and those were full on crash and burn. haha

This was straight to the point. Could you do one on the CAGED system. Not so much the chord shapes, but the patterns/sclaes that go with them.

I wnjoy your channel. Thank you for sharing

Great lesson!

This is gold Open Blues jams in Vegas made me hafta learn this right quick about 25 yrs ago You have a good approach to explaining things clear Thnx

Thanks you and I hope this helped some!

Great breakdown. Others over-explain things. You kept it simple and to the point. I already know the system but still feel like I learned even more by watching your video. New subscriber! P.S. - I love G&L guitars.

Hi Tim, just subscribed to your channel. The appeal here is there’s an honesty, a sincerity to it that a lot of other guitarists don’t have. They all kinda seem like bulletproof shredders and what they are doing is so fast and it’s all visual, with a huge emphasis on the fretting hand. What would be awesome is if someone could breakdown the importance of the rhythm hand. How you hold the pick. How long it takes to feel comfortable in doing so. What pick you like. Do you hold the pick differently when playing chords as opposed the scales. Nobody breaks down the importance of the rhythm hand. Anyway, keep going. Love your approach!

thank you so much for this!

I'm so glad it could help! Thats my goal!

In my neck of the woods, it's the uno, cuatro and cinco.

G&L. FY!

Seems like everyone does it! Blues Jazz, Country! Sleep walk is a 1,6 4,5?

My worship pastor would love for me to learn this method. It would be great to have an excersise to practice it with. Thanks for the video.

Why the GL instead of a Fender. I know GL makes great guitars and are under rated. I bought the Brent Mason Nashville to learn B bending or G but want to get a regular Tele. Have been looking at a Suhr due to great neck and fret work. Second to none. Great work explaining the numbers system. CW

I wish my ASAT Classic sounded that good...LOL!

cool informative video bro

Thank you!

Yay, upon further investigation here, you got some hybrid picking going on! Nobody breaks that down!! Great stuff dude. How is your picking hand doing that?

What if you’re playing in a minor key? Am would be 1 or 6?

What an intelligent well spoken young man,. Parents music teachers??

Good stuff! Would be great to talk about how to use this in minor keys. Can be a little confusing!

Easy - you just add the chord type: 3 major, 2 minor, 6 diminished, 5 half diminished or whatever.

I wrote a song. Should I record it in a studio. KZread video rehearsal One handed lady

This is same as the Roman numeral scale degree system except with Arabic numbers instead of Roman numerals. I always thought the Nashville number system was a lot more different than that.

Nashville number system lol. It's just very basic music theory... been around a lot longer than Nashville!

Did you get your little finger surgically extended? Look like Steve Vai fingers. Well, either way, good for you.
