Nashville?

ummm, thats a place near the east coast below kentucky that sort of has a music thang goin on fer awhile!

(duck)


OH, the NASHVILLE Tuning thang? Right?

noo?

Or the NASHVILLE progression thang? Right!

The progression thang is just a substitution of numbers for note names. So take thei example below for reference using the C Major scale.

C=1=I
D=2=II
E=3=III
F=4=IV
G=5=V
A=6=VI
B=7=VII
C=8=VIII (or Octave)

So, if i said its a 1-4-5 progression in C the chords would be C, F,and G.

Or if i said to add the 7th to a C chord you add the 7th note to it to make a C7 chord.


Get it?

As to the tuning craze that swept the country scene back in the 80's i never got involved with it myself.

Anyone of us older chaps know the scoop on it?
