The scale degree chords of B-flat major are: Tonic – B-flat major; Supertonic – C minor; Mediant – D minor; Subdominant – E-flat major; Dominant – F major; Submediant – G minor; Leading-tone – A diminished
The numbers do not change when transposing the composition into another key. They are relative to the new Tonic. The only required knowledge is the major scale for the given key. Unless otherwise noted, all numbers represent major chords, and each chord should be played for one measure. So in the key of C, the Nashville Number System notation:
The irregular major third breaks the fingering patterns of scales and chords, so that guitarists have to memorize multiple chord shapes for each chord. Scales and chords are simplified by major thirds tuning and all-fourths tuning, which are regular tunings maintaining the same musical interval between consecutive open string notes. [3]
B Flat notes. B ♭ (B-flat), or, in some European countries, B, is the eleventh step of the Western chromatic scale (starting from C). It lies a diatonic semitone above A and a chromatic semitone below B, [1] thus being enharmonic to A ♯, even though in some musical tunings, B ♭ will have a different sounding pitch than A ♯.
In the first two bars, it uses a four-note sequence which drops by a third every half-bar. This period ends with a perfect cadence in dominant key of F major. The second period uses a fantasia style and alternates between chords and scale progressions. The coda in bar 20 uses an extended arpeggio in the tonic that confirms the key of B-flat major.
In contrast, in the chord-scale system, a different scale is used for each chord in the progression (for example mixolydian scales on A, E, and D for chords A 7, E 7, and D 7, respectively). [5] Improvisation approaches may be mixed, such as using "the blues approach" for a section of a progression and using the chord-scale system for the rest. [6]
Letter notation is the most common way of indicating chords for accompaniment, such as guitar chords, for example B ♭ 7. The bass note may be specified after a /, for example C/G is a C major chord with a G bass. Where a capo is indicated, there is little standardisation.
