Jerry Rosa - Nashville Numbering System

The Nashville Number System for Jam Sessions on All Instruments - Cost to current Mozingo Music Students is FREE, General Public Pricing is $5.00 a seat, reserve in advance.
11:00am to 11:55am on 5/7/2011.
The Room SHOULD BE PACKED ON THIS ONE! You'll almost never get this info taught in a live format for $5.00, and it's something everyone that plays Bluegrass, Country, Gospel, Blues, Basic Rock, Basic Pop...should be exposed to. If you have ever been the person to have to lay your instrument down during a jam session because you just couldn't figure out where they are going with the song next, THIS IS YOUR CLASS! Jerry said even more advanced to intermediate players that have a basic concept of the numbering system should walk away with some new understanding from this class. So it's for everybody beginner on up, and it's for ANY STRING INSTRUMENT, not just Guitar.

Brilliantly taught Jerry. I gained a lorry load of musical knowledge watching and listening to your explanation of this number system. You're a wonderful teacher and I thank you for sharing your wisdom with us all. Much appreciated.

So this nashville numbering system is basic theory that I learned as a kid taking lessons. Got it.

This is so fantastic I cannot listen to music now without using numbers now. Thank you so much. I sit and listen to music more just to be able to use the number system it is a lot of fun.

Jerry is a Master!

[@thefreese1]

The funniest part is ...after you learn this... a lot of times people will ask you "what key are you in " And because everything is so automatic after you start out , you tend to forget about the key . You just play .. So you have to stop a split second and think about it.. lol

Jerry Rosa FTW!

[@lyndamcardle4123]

Reminds me of the Andy Fairweather Low song "Hot Poop" where both he and Bernie Leadon just play a series of chords and shout out the names of the chords as they play 'em !

Thanks for the simple introduction to, and explanation of, the Nashville Numbering System. Odd bit of trivia about this video. The woman on the far left appears to be the same woman seen on the far left at the start of the Mandolin 101 Masterclass video from 4 days earlier.

Nice video!

Hello Jerry. I am excited to order ur cd set. I have only had my mandolin for 1 week I did play a guitar for about 8 months now. Do u have any tabs for all the music u play on ur site

[@MRFUSON-uj9bs]

In the key of G major Wouldn't It Go 1 G major ,2 Am, 3 Bm , 4 C major , 5 D major, 6 Em, 7 F# diminished. But you was calling the 2 chord A major ? Not Am. Kinda confused me. Maybe I misunderstood.

[@SillyMoustache]

Hi Mr Fuson, you are quite correct - inasmuch as you are referring to "harmonising the scale". I think that Mr Rosa is just talking about the "RELATIVE" distances of the chords, and not , at this time complicating the matter with the minors and the half diminished. In fact , many times the "II" "III" and "VI" chord of (e.g.) the G scale is actually changed to a major or a 7th, simply to change the melody. I'm sorry that I didn't stumble on this video and see your question for some time, but hope that this helps.

[@SillyMoustache]

@Phantom Navigator Hi, I'm not sure what you are saying. but, if you mean that some songs are written in minor chords, then yes but your chord options in that scale will still be I to VII, just with the variance of majors and minors, and yes, you can also change key in a song, often from the I to a II. Hope that helps.

[@waynewilburn3569]

That's the same as playing with a capo

[@Bflatest]

your twos sound major

[@ClamsAnonymous]

it is. it's not in the key. it's the secondary dominant of the five. (i.e. the 5 of 5) you can use the '5 of' any chord to lead into it in a slick jazzy way.
