Good lesson. I had to learn the number system on the fly when I started going to another church a few years ago. Now that I'm used to it, I love it!

This was awesome Travis! Thank you so much and thank you so much for throwing those 7 chords in at the end!!

Delta State! Keep rocking man!

You're an excellent teacher, thanks so much man.

thanks so much for this lesson, it was a such a great feeling towards the end of this video when it clicked in my head!

Thank you very much

Great Job buddy

Brother you really helped me alot , In the past I would ask around and all I got was a shoulder shrug or you"ll figure it out !. Thanks for Explaining it , Bless you !

Your tabs are really helpful as well.

This is most broken down explanation I’ve seen so far! Ima still have to watch it 10 more times but at least it’s starting to make sense 😂

Thank You

This video really showed me that I need lessons.

Thank u so much

God bless you my brother in Jesus name. This was very helpful

The confusing part is that many songs don’t follow the scale degree. Major becomes minor and minor changes to major. The key is to know the basics

Thanks for the great lesson, you’re a good teacher 🙏🏽. So if someone tells you a chord progression in number terms would they always have to specify the key they want it to be played in too?

Cool clear lesson man! ..Your intonation on your saddles is is out (flat) on b string i think Yo 🥸😎. Gets more in tune as you play up the neck. Meaning your strings are too short.

I learned it as 1,9,3,11,5,13,7,1

Can you break that down to the simplest form? A chart would be helpful.

Man I was hoping you'd do a video on the number system

How did we find the e on the 5th fret. My problem is finding notes all over the fretboardd

Nice wood on that neck

it gets a bit complex mid-way but nonetheless WELL DONE, sir.

Do you give lessons

Who in their rightful mind would unlike this😒

Travis I’m ready for lessons

Hey Travis thanks for the lesson! So what do you do when the song has an accidental. For reference, the intro in the Darlene Zschech version of In Jesus name. It goes 1 to 7, but the 7 is major. Thanks!

How do you use a capo and do the Nashville number system?

Chris Tuck it works exactly same way bro. If you keys player was in say F you would put your capo on 4th fret and play in a C chord (F is the fourth of C). Then you would play the corresponding chords. Your 1 chord is C there is F. If they said go to 6 you would play A minor and even though they would be playing D minor it would sound the same because you are still in F but using capo to play in a C shape

Ok, if c is the 1, then it's d2, e3, f4, g5, a6 and b7, right? But most musicians I have worked with call (a# / b flat) the 7, when the c is the 1... Why is that?

@TravisCalvin

Right. B flat would be the flat 7 if you’re working diatonically (staying true to the scale).

@@TravisCalvin Right, but why do some musicians think that a 7 flat is a seven? When they write a chart and a 7 flat is called for, they write a 7... I've heard that there's a difference between a 7 and a dominant 7, but I don't know what that means...

@@TravisCalvin Oh, I see, a dominant 7 is a chord structure, not a chart number... Thanks for explaining it... But it is ironic that a (dominant 7 chord) uses a 7 flat note...LOL Maybe that's why they think a 7 flat is the 7 in a chart...

I'm first to view 🙃

Much appreciated!

I get the concept and I absolutely know how useful it is. BUT 😭 For the love of god... how are yall doing MATH while playing music? Idk how yall can tell what 6 in the key of G# is in an instance without counting it?? Esp when ppl are like "okay this is a simple 2-5-1 in Ab. Ready? 1, and 2 and 1,2,3...." I'd be like NOOOOOO STOP IM NOT DONE CONVERTING THIS MATH Whenever I think in the number system I feel like a kindergartner cuz I can only do it in the key of C. If you throw any sharp/flat then Im REALLY fk'ed lol I also find it hard that yall just hard memorize it. What's the secret 😭

It helps to know what the scale shapes look like on a piano.

Travis, As a producer and musician in Nashville for more then 45 years, I can tell you that in the Nashville Number System the 2, 3, and 6 chords are never automatically minor unless you add a suffix like 2- or 6m. All the chords in the NNS are always major chords...always. The progression you are using (1,2m,3m,4,5,6m,7dim) dates back to the 18th century. It is a valid progression but...It is not the basis for he NNS. The NNS used by the professional working musicians in Nashville uses major chords. A number by itself without a suffix attached will always be played as a major. The best book on the NNS is by Chas Williams titled "The Nashville Number System". May I suggest you pick up a copy and turn to page 15. Under the heading Chord Symbols you will find that what I'm telling you is accurate. I wish you the best.

That was easy to follow until you started talking about chords and then you were all over the fret board lol
