Remember the last time you had to quickly transpose a tune? Your chart, featuring chords like \u201cD major\u201d or \u201cA minor\u201d felt rather useless at that point, didn’t it?<\/span><\/p>

What if I told you there is a system, used by professional recording musicians, that simplifies song charts and allows you to transpose and improvise with much less effort?<\/span><\/p>

The Nashville number system uses numerals instead of letters to indicate a chord. With this system anyone can transpose a tune in a matter of seconds, without needing many music theory notions. Its simple but precise symbol system allows anyone to experiment with improvisation, making it a great tool for session musicians and jazz players.<\/span><\/p>

How does it work? – The theory premise<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

To understand how the Nashville number system works we must take a step back and recall the structure of a major scale. This is formed by seven notes, each one representing a grade<\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For example, if we consider C major, we’ll have the notes C, which is the first grade of the scale, D, which is the second grade, E, which is the third grade, and so on, right to B, the seventh and last grade of the scale.<\/span><\/p>

Now, if we build a triad on each grade, using only notes deriving from our major scale, we’ll have:<\/span><\/p>

  1. C \u2013 E \u2013 G = a major chord<\/span><\/li>
  2. D \u2013 F \u2013 A = a minor chord<\/span><\/li>
  3. E \u2013 G \u2013 B = a minor chord<\/span><\/li>
  4. F \u2013 A \u2013 C = a major chord<\/span><\/li>
  5. G \u2013 B \u2013 D = a major chord<\/span><\/li>
  6. A \u2013 C \u2013 E = a minor chord<\/span><\/li>
  7. B \u2013 D \u2013 F = a diminished chord<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    The triads built on a major scale are the foundation of the method. Let’s see in detail what I mean.<\/span><\/p>

    What do numbers stand for?<\/span><\/p>

    In this system, a number represents a certain grade of the scale. The number 1, for example, stands for the first grade of the scale. If we are in C major, the number 1 will therefore indicate the chord\/note C. If we are in G major, it will stand for the chord\/note G, and so on.<\/span><\/p>

    Let’s assume you are a guitarist or a pianist and that the numbers in your chart represent chords to be played to accompany a singer. Here are some examples for you to familiarize yourself with the method.<\/span><\/p>

    • Key: A major<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

      1\u00a0 4\u00a0 1\u00a0 5\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

      A major\u00a0 D major A major E major<\/span><\/p>

      Why are these all major chords? If you’re in doubt, get back to the scheme representing the triads built on the major scale. You will notice that we can only form major triads on the grades 1, 4 and 5.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

      • Key: C major<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

        1 5 2 5<\/span><\/p>

        C major G major D minor G major<\/span><\/p>

        Why is number 2 a minor chord? Because we can only form a minor triad on the second grade of a major scale. You don’t necessarily have to remember this detail, though, as more often than not you will find a \u201c-\u201d or an \u201cm\u201d right beside the number, to remind you that chord has to be minor.<\/span><\/p>

        Our 2, therefore, could be written as 2- or 2m.<\/span><\/p>

        • Key: F major<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

          1 3 4 5<\/span><\/p>

          F major A minor Bb major C major<\/span><\/p>

          The Nashville number system and minor keys<\/span><\/p>

          There is a tiny complication: if our tune is in a minor key, we have to be careful about the triads built on each grade, which are obviously different from the ones formed on a major scale.<\/span><\/p>

          Although, as I mentioned before, minor, augmented, and diminished chords are often highlighted with specific symbols, it is advisable to know what triads we can form on the two most common minor scales: natural and harmonic.<\/span><\/p>

          The natural minor scale<\/i><\/span><\/p>

          Let’s assume we are in A minor, an \u201ceasy\u201d key, with no alterations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

          The natural A minor scale will be:<\/span><\/p>

          A B C D E F G<\/span><\/p>

          1 2 3 4 5 6 7<\/span><\/p>

          Now, let’s build some triads on these grades.<\/span><\/p>

          1. A \u2013 C \u2013 E = a minor chord<\/span><\/li>
          2. B \u2013 D \u2013 F = a diminished chord<\/span><\/li>
          3. C \u2013 E \u2013 G = a major chord<\/span><\/li>
          4. D \u2013 F \u2013 A = a minor chord<\/span><\/li>
          5. E \u2013 G \u2013 B = a minor chord<\/span><\/li>
          6. F \u2013 A \u2013 C = a major chord<\/span><\/li>
          7. G \u2013 B \u2013 D = a major chord<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

            Following this scheme, in A minor key, the number 2 will stand for a B diminished chord. The number 4 will stand for a D minor chord, and so on.<\/span><\/p>

            The harmonic minor scale<\/i><\/span><\/p>

            To keep things easy, let’s stick to the A minor key.<\/span><\/p>

            Here’s the harmonic A minor scale:<\/span><\/p>

            A B C D E F G#<\/span><\/p>

            1 2 3 4 5 6 7<\/span><\/p>

            Here’s the list of triads we can form on a harmonic scale:<\/span><\/p>

            1. A \u2013 C \u2013 E = a minor chord<\/span><\/li>
            2. B \u2013 D \u2013 F = a diminished chord<\/span><\/li>
            3. C \u2013 E \u2013 G# = an augmented chord<\/span><\/li>
            4. D \u2013 F \u2013 A = a minor chord<\/span><\/li>
            5. E \u2013 G#- B = a major chord<\/span><\/li>
            6. F \u2013 A \u2013 C = a major chord<\/span><\/li>
            7. G#- B \u2013 D = a diminished chord<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

              For example, in A minor, number 7 will be G# diminished; number 4 will be D minor; number 1 will be A minor, and so on.<\/span><\/p>

              Having introduced diminished and augmented chords, let’s see what symbols can be used to alter the nature of a common major triad in the Nashville number system.<\/span><\/p>

              Common symbols used in the system<\/span><\/p>

              There are tons of different possibilities when it comes to chords. Are they major, minor, augmented, diminished? Do we have to add a specific bass?<\/span><\/p>

              The Nashville number system allows us to indicate how a chord should be altered, inverted or \u201ccompleted\u201d with simple symbols. Let’s see the most common ones.<\/span><\/p>

              • \u0394 = major 7<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
              • – or m = minor<\/span><\/li>
              • \u00b0 or dim = diminished<\/span><\/li>
              • + or aug = augmented<\/span><\/li>
              • \u00f8<\/span> = half diminished<\/span><\/li>
              • 1\/3 = play a 1 chord (grade 1 of the scale) with a 3 (third grade of the scale) bass<\/span><\/li>
              • 7 = dominant seventh<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

                An example: \u201cWhen The Saints Go Marching In\u201d<\/span><\/p>

                Here is an example of the classic gospel When The Saints Go Marching In <\/i>written using the Nashville number system.<\/span><\/p>

                Key: E major 4\/4<\/span><\/p>

                1 . . . 1 . . . 1 . . . <\/span><\/p>

                1 . . . 1 . . . 1 . . .<\/span><\/p>

                5<\/span>7 <\/span>. . . 5<\/span>7<\/span> . . . 1 . . .<\/span><\/p>

                1<\/span>7<\/span> . . . 4 . . . 4 . . .<\/span><\/p>

                1 . . . 5<\/span>7 <\/span>. . . 1 . . .<\/span><\/p>

                And here’s a classic chord chart:<\/span><\/p>

                | E | % | % | % | % | % | B7 | % | E | E7 | A | % | E | B7| E |<\/span><\/p>

                Why is the Nashville number system so valuable<\/span><\/p>

                As I have already mentioned, this system allows anyone to easily transpose a tune and improvise.<\/span><\/p>

                The fact that we have numbers instead of note names makes it easier for us to change the key we are playing in. For the same reason, jazz players will find this method exceptionally good to practice improvisation.<\/span><\/p>

                Last but not least, the flexibility of the system and the vast quantity of symbols you can easily add beside each number allow you to include a lot of information (the nature of a chord, what bass should be played, and so on), almost like in a classical music sheet.<\/span><\/p>
