I love to record and perform my own music as well as cover songs. I’m passionate about songwriting, guitar blues jams, music theory, teaching music as well as DIY projects.
I play drums, guitar, piano, bass and record in my home studio or on the go! I also make beats and love to collaborate with new musicians. I have new projects that I’m working on and would love to share them with you.
As a Nashville musician and producer I want to thank you for your video on the Nashville Number System. Unfortunately, the information you are providing is not correct. The NNS is not based on the harmonized Major scale, which only allows the notes within the scale to form the chords of the scale. The NNS is based on Major chords. Using the C scale as in your video the chords are: 1= C Major, 2= D Major, 3= E Major, 4= F Major, 5= G Major, 6= A Major, 7= B major...no minor chords, no diminished chords. The harmonized scale is a valid music theory concept, but it does not apply to the NNS. The NNS is simple...replace the letter with a number. If you are playing in the key of C and the music calls for an A minor, you write 6-. If the music calls for an A Major you write a 6. If the music calls for an A minor and you write a 6, there is not one professional Nashville musician who will play an A minor. A number by itself will always be played as a basic Major chord. If you call out 1, 6, 4, 5 as you do in your video, Nashville musicians will play the 6 chord as a Major chord. A minor chord MUST have a suffix attached as in 2- or 6m. There is never a time in the NNS when the 2,3, and 6 will automatically be played as a minor or the 7 as a half diminished. This a common misconception so I understand how you may have learned this, but it is not true. May I suggest you go online to: THEORY THE NASHVILLE NUMBER SYSTEM - PAUL FRANKLIN. Paul is a world class Nashville musician who does an excellent job in explaining the NNS. It will help you. Again, thank you...best to you.
Edit: @10:02, @10:11, @10:55, @11:02, @11:09, @22:56, @23:00 The 6th degree of a Major Key is the “Relative Minor” not “Parallel Minor”. The Parallel Minor and its Major Key equivalent both share the same “Tonic” or Root note. (Ex. C major and C Minor)
