Hell ya. Best comment on KZread today 😂

It is a useful system. Another good tip someone told me years ago, is to try playing the guitar without looking at it all the time. It teaches you to use your ears, and you start to rely on muscle memory more too. It also comes in useful if you are going to sing while playing the guitar, as it's hard to sing into a mic and look at the guitar at the same time.

I got an ad for fender play before this... WHO NEEDS THAT WHEN YOU HAVE MARTY!

Love Lindsey Ell! She is awesome. The causal hang out feeling of the lesson about Nashville numbers is great. Marty I like where you are going with having guest muscians teach little bits of healthy guitar snacks for the mind to chew on. Please keep it up.

Amazing Lindsay ..Thank you ,X.. wish I had a music teacher like you way back when I was in school

A song that explains this system is Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. And it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth. The minor fall and the major lift. The lyrics help you memorize the chord sequence

Thank you Lindsay & Marty for explaining the Nashville number system. Appreciate it!

After getting pretty decent at playing some of the songs on guitar I wanted to learn music theory. I realized a lot of the Nashville number system videos on KZread just weren't cutting it. Coming back to Marty was a game changer. It was simple and to the point. Thank you so much Marty and Lindsay Ell for the thoughtful presentation.

Although I can read, I'm very slow because I never invested the time (lazy), so I play 100% by ear, and because I'm fortunate to be able to pick things up quickly, I've just stuck with what works well for me. But I've always been curious about the NNS. Lindsay's lesson explains it so well and it makes perfect sense. Thanks Marty and Lindsay!

Always loved and admired the Nashville scene! So much to come out of their for contributing to music!

Awesome tutorial

AMAZING! Can you teach the song: "owner of a lonely heart"?

Excellent

As somebody who can parse out a lot of things by ear and learn them but has little to no real musical education I appreciate lessons like this to try to fill the gaps that will hopefully help me make more original music. For those studio musicians and this number system, is it just familiarity over time that you know which chord equates to which number based on the key?

Amazing player

The seventh note of the scale is actually a half diminished flattened fifth but that happens when you add the fourth note over the triad and is maybe a bit farther along than this lesson. Four notes built on the b (7th degree of a C major scale) will give you B, D, F, A which forms a m7b5 chord.

Lindsay, The 2 in the Nashville Number System is NEVER automatically a minor. This is a widespread misconception about the NNS. This scale...1, 2m, 3m, 4, 5, 6m, 7dim is NOT the NNS. In the NNS a number by itself will always be played as a basic MAJOR chord. A minor chord MUST have a suffix attached as in 2- or 2m.

Haven’t seen Marty in years. Hope you’re keeping well buddy.

What effects peddle do you use Marty?

This is an insane solo. I rewatched the intro like 6 times just to hear that lol. Is that from one of her songs?

Lol!...finally something that i can understand...want more !!..feed me syemore!..lol!...so...no matter what key. The order from the one chord..whatever that chord may be on any given progresion...the order remains the same????...did that come out right??

My system is my ear. That’s a good bad thing, because unless you can chart they don’t want you, yet throw a song in my ear and I’ll have it. I may have to cave and just learn it, but my ear is like the devil on my shoulder saying “No no, you don’t need no stinking system , I’m quicker “. The curse of the blessing.

So do I have to move to Nashville to use the Nashville Number System? She seems to imply that it's a Nashville thing. Am a not allowed to use it because I live in Michigan?

Lindsay explained the NNS perfectly and effortlessly. I know the number system, it does make it easier to play with others who know the language, but I hasn't made me a better player, I played for years, decades actually, without knowing the NNS. Is it a necessity to understand, no it's not. Is it nice to know, yeah it is... It's easy to learn, give yourself 5 minutes and you will understand it. I'm a big fan of Lindsays, she is the real deal. a gifted artist to say the least.

Bilb Ono, I studied theory and played In Nashville for a few years. We called them ‘napkin charts’ because you can’t get much more basic. One assumption this method makes is almost everything is diatonic which I see as it’s downfall. I guess it’s strength is transposition and/or aid in those lacking of median level of comp/performance skills.

If the music director says the key of the project is a non-modal major key the 2 will be a minor. You can tell by her facial expression that she realized midsentence that she should’ve said “usually” a minor but in her head she was like “OK well there’ are other situation’s where it wouldn’t necessarily be” She should have explained... or edited the video, so that people new to the concept wouldn’t react as some have here... because that tripped a lot of people up and made them discount the whole video...but she actually explained the concept very very well

Marty what model Strat is that at the beginning of the video?

Lindsey 😘😘💚 ur the best

So you just look at the circle of fifths and the 1 4 5 are your major chords and the 2 3 6 are your minor chords and you borrow from the next key to get you 7 chord. Is this the Nashville number system in a nutshell? If so I've known it for a while and didn't even realize.

I did learn more about the Nashville Number System, but I am still learning.The two will always be a minor, usually. (about 6:10) No system is perfect all the time. Wikipedia lists 65 scales because we cannot make up our minds.

If your playing all those fancy numbered chords you just do the math. If you got a 9 in the chord you'll the root, 3rd, 5th then the 7th note and the 2nd. There's your 9. 7+2. For example, if your playing a B7 in a country song, its the B chord plus the 7th note in the major scale. People who use this, like me, toss modes out the door cuz they're kinda useless. 99.9999% of the time you just need the major and minor scale. Look up scott grove nashville number system on youtube. He explains it way better than me.

That's just the BASIC ( and people use different TERMS to identify the same MODE....such as Phrygian dominant, Phrygian, Maj3, Spanish Gypsy..ect it's just the 5th mode of Harmonic minor.... It's actaully EASIER than most people MAKES it. If you ccmprehend it in C MAJOR/Amin at first.... becuase you can PUSH DOWN from C MAJOR towards C min More common CHORDS will criss/cross...which create more OPTIONS to play whatever you choose. Create tension or shift KEYS SMOOTHER and quicker.... And you can also PUSH UP from A min towards A MAJOR..at the same time. b3, b6, b7 = the SECOND ARPEGGIOS of the 1, 4, 5 chords from C MAJOR towards min b6 = Harmonic MAJOR ( Ab) b3 = Melodic min ( Eb) b3, b6 = Harmonic min ( Eb, Ab) b3, b6, b7 = Natural min ( Eb, Ab, Bb) reverse the process PUSH UP from A min towards A Major. b3, b6.......A Harmonic min ( G#) b3, Melodic min F#, G# b3, #4 Lydian b3 D#, F#, G# b6 Harmonic MAJOR C#, G# There's other scale....
