1 major 2, 3 minor 4, 5 major 6,7 minor They also call it the Nashville system. Awesome tutorial Smooth. I've been at church and got lost when folks were throwing those numbers out. Lol

I'm an old school funk musician, who has been out of the active scene since 1983. I'm afraid that when I've jammed with the younger musicians, when they've used this number system, I thought that they had lost their minds, and were trying to feed me BS, because they didn't really know what a A min 9th was😂😂😂. All the time it was me who's musical knowledge was simply stale as last years ham sandwich😂. So I feel truly privileged to have stumbled across your podcast, because even at the age of 65, I still love playing my guitar, and still have a mind to learn new things. So thank you very much for this time you're spending to teach these valuable lesson, and God bless your work, and everything else you do in life. And bless your wife and kids too. Peace bruh.

Man I appreciate this so much. I played in bands thru the 90’s. I knew how to play but I didn’t understand the instrument or music. Ffw now with wife kids hadn’t played seriously for 15yrs the past cpl months I’ve decided to completely relearn the guitar. Your vids have been very helpful.

Never too late ..stepped away for years...I am 70..4 years ago started serious lessons ...amazed at what I am learning...stay focused 🎵❤

I truly appreciate 🙏 this insight.

This video helps so much, when playing with keyboard players this system is essential!

Bro!!!!!! I appreciate you. Your a blessing. Those who refresh others shall be refreshed!!!☝️🙏

I bn working alot lately and my motivation to pick up the guitar was non-existent today, until i saw this video. I mean, the articulation used throughout each minute is digestable and easy to process. And thus, I just signed up to Kerry's Kamp, excited. One hour into Kerry's Kamp, and I am confident that I made the best choice to boost my knowledge and skills into the right direction. I'm surprised by how well organised and comprehensive your Kamp is. Thank you for persevering and inspiring so many guitarists and novice players worldwide.

Thank God for you. Seriously

OMG!!! IM over 50 played in 20s.. Srv Hendricks motivation..stopped by 30... outside of 1 4 5 12 bar blues I get lost.. been running from caged and number system... been subscribed for almost 2 years... finally just gave in and watch this video1... I GET IT.. you just unlocked and let me out the box with understanding....Wow! Thank you... Now I'm really going to the Camp Thanks again

Man Kerry, I joined your kamp a few weeks ago it is really "Awesome". All I did was look at about thirty videos before I even picked up my guitar and finally it all made sense to me. I was so caught up in the strings and frets and it never made any sense to me and now with this number system you teach us in the kamp, I finally got it. This was the best investment I ever got myself as far as my music is concerned. Your system not only gave my structure for the guitar, but for the keys and bass as well. I'm going to be a better bass player using chords more often in my music. I am into praise and worship for God with the R&B feel, this is what I asked God for. I appreciate you so much bro, thanks again.

I agree with you bro, if you playing in church you gotta know what chord the number represents. Especially if you stumble on a song that you're not familiar with. Great vid!

I'M 61 YEARS OLD.... STARTED OUT ON GUITAR... I HAD A COUNTRY MUSIC TEACHER... DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY HE WAS TEACHING..... NEXT I WENT TO A SCHOOL OF JAZZ KANSAS CITY MISSIOURI ... BUT THIS WELL KNOWN JAZZ GUITARIST TAUGHT ME BASS GUITAR AND SIGHT READING BASS CLEF.... JAMES JAMERSON... MOTOWN...LINES...... NOW LOOKS LIKE I'M CHOOSING YOU FOR THE GUITAR REFRESHING TEACHER. I LIKE YOUR STYLE YOUNG MAN...

Thank you 🙏🏼

When you mentioned Tori Kelly, I was sold. She is a huge inspiration to me. I’ve been playing on and off for about 8 years but I still feel like I don’t know much. I Appreciate all the knowledge your putting out.

Love all your videos, man! You're amazing.

Thank you for your videos. These lessons are opening me up to a whole new world of guitar playing.

Thanks Kerry this video has really opened up the basics for me.

Cheers! You got me into 4 hours of exploring and enjoying!

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to watch the videos!

You put a lot of work into this class and I'm with it and don't mind supporting you monetarily. Many thanks! I learned basically on my own to play by ear. I had a few lessons that got me started initially but I've really been going at it without fundamental structure. I see that you give the proper building blocks to provide that solid structure. Many Thanks, Rob Hewz.

This man is Dope. Thanks for that simplistic breakdown. Never played before nor a music major but Im developing a Love for guitar and I have mad respect for musicians.

Bro this is a huge help to me man, cuz I never knew how to play with the number system, always by ear, I will continue to watch your videos an check out your site. Keep up the good work , an continue to be blessed..

Appreciate your help Definitely bless by your assistance

Such an amazing breakdown man. Had no idea where to start with the number system and have been wanting to learn for a while being a completely self taught guitarist. Now I'm well on the way, big love ❤️

thanks Bro! I can feel the soul swing on the notes you play that's the key for all the músic love it God blessyou!

Thanks for reinforcing this system. I used this to teach my children gospel music while they were extremely young and couldn't talk across stage.

Bruh !!! 👍 thank you so much for the lesson and making it simple this is what I needed (number system)you're the best!! God bless you.

Makes perfect sense

nice man

The 7 chord is usually half diminished aka min7b5 or Diminished !

Played in jazz band through high school. I rember taping the notes over the frets to play bar chords and learning some scales. Wish KZread was more prominent when I was 15 lol. You could have really helped than!

I just ran across your channel by accident. But I don't think it was no accident!!! Nice shit man!!

Hope to see you in PickupMusic as well. Thanks for the great info :)

Certainly going to try your method. CAGED just confuses me, but using the number system seems more logical.

Just subscribed, I've really enjoyed your videos I've seen so far Kerry! Keep em coming man. And where can I find that t-shirt? "Musicpreneur"

I have a wall clock that has the circle of fiths. It's great for quick reference.

Hey Kerry yet another great tutorial so a massive thanks to you . I've checked out some similar tutorials and in a few of the they say that the 7 should be a diminished chord , I highly rate your opinion and totally love the way you play and i'm probably missing the point but should the 7 be a diminished ? Thanks .

Bobby's comments are where I am, Starting with the 5 thing to remember. 1st then the number system video now. question what gage of strings do you recommend? been using Lt Gage, looking for a warmer sound. Do feel good yet using heavy gage.

👌👌

Hey Kerry , been diggin your guitar skillz., Could you do Where are all my friends , by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes ? Its a heavy Pop fast pace jam !

Thanks Kerry, is this a good way to figure out passing chords to spice up the basic 4chord songs?

This was really good. You started it a Maj7, are you changing the cord each time you move it?

❤

New to guitar but can you put a video of the chords you are choosing through the progression

The seven day trial is free, which is great, let’s you get your feet and makes you wnna take the full plunge. How much though; for the full access to the camp?!

What is giving you that sustain ? Thank you ALWAYS...ALWAYS...smooth

i have one question, How do you communicate or write out a chord that falls outside of the key?

Great content and also nah you that guy 😂

Is this something to learn when you first start playing or should you start somewhere else?
