Nashville Number System Explained | A Practical Approach for Bass Players

[@timjapower]

Wow! I am learning bass and was asked to learn the Nashville number system. This system didn’t make sense to me until you pointed out how using the system allows you to shift keys without changing what you have to remember (notes/numbers)

NSV number system has helped me a lot to open up the fretboard for me, and especially the patterns of the chord progressions, so now I can easily use and find on the fretboard 3,4,5,6 to make fills or use them to the next chord in a melody and not least become a better listener to how the progression goes.

This is pretty good. I think Bass players would get more out of the NNS if you would show them, how it works with Chord changes. For instance a chord progression of 1 6- 4 5. Which is where the NNS really shines. How it is used to back up the band while the Guitar plays Chords and the Bass is following along playing notes in that chord. And how the NNS can help Transcribe the thousands and thousands of 3 & 4 and more chord songs. Thanks.

In the 90s some studios charged for this before recording. I still don't use it.

[@Nextsession271]

Should I as a new bass player learn the notes first?

[@asilearnguitar]

Hi, can we simply the diminished 7 to just a plain minor?

[@jimharrow8104]

Far out... Who thought out this number system, was this always in place ? Thanks...
