Nashville Number System Explained | A Practical Approach for Bass Players
The Nashville Number System Explained! A bass lesson which discusses a practical approach for bass guitar players, especially useful for worship musicians!
The Bo Show (#57) - Have you ever practiced a song in one key, but then needed to transpose it to a different key on short notice? Here's a bass guitar lesson on how to use the Nashville Number System (NNS) to make it easier to transpose songs from one key to another using numbers and patterns rather than notes.
Assign a number to each note in the Major scale, then use the numbers rather than having to memorize the notes. This makes it easier to transpose the song to a different key.
This tutorial was played through a 2001 Fender American Jazz Bass in standard tuning.

Thanks bro. It's a brilliant system
This is pretty good. I think Bass players would get more out of the NNS if you would show them, how it works with Chord changes. For instance a chord progression of 1 6- 4 5. Which is where the NNS really shines. How it is used to back up the band while the Guitar plays Chords and the Bass is following along playing notes in that chord. And how the NNS can help Transcribe the thousands and thousands of 3 & 4 and more chord songs. Thanks.
Far out... Who thought out this number system, was this always in place ? Thanks...
