This is an introduction to the Number System of chord notation. Some people call it the “Nashville” Number System, but it’s really just music theory in action! Not surprisingly, I was a little long-winded in explaining the whole thing so I’ve broken it up into 5 smaller parts.

Also, before you begin be sure to download this summary worksheet and read along.

Let me know what you think, if you have any questions, or if you have any suggestions on how to make this page even better! I hope to continue building a bit of a resource library here.
