Nashville Number System The Nashville Number System (Book and CD-ROM)
The Nashville Number System contains an 108 page step by step method of how to write a Nashville number chart for any song. Included is a collection of handwritten number charts of country standards.
In the late 50's, Neil Matthews devised a musical number system for the Jordanaires to use in the studio. Charlie McCoy and fellow studio musicians began adapting Matthews' number system into chord charts. The Nashville Number System has evolved into a complete method of writing chord charts and melodies---combining Nashville shorthand with formal notation standards.
