Nashville notation or Nashville Number System [2] is a method of notating chord changes using numbers based on scale degrees, in lieu of chord names. For example, in the key of C-Major, the chord D-minor-seventh can be written as 2− 7, 2m 7, or ii 7.
These chords stand in the same relationship to one another (in the relative minor key) as do the three major chords, so that they may be viewed as the first (i), fourth (iv) and fifth (v) degrees of the relative minor key. For example, the relative minor of C major is A minor, and in the key of A minor, the i, iv and v chords are A minor, D ...
The term sixth chord refers to two different kinds of chord, the first in classical music and the second in modern popular music. [1] [2]The original meaning of the term is a chord in first inversion, in other words with its third in the bass and its root a sixth above it.
In this ordering, the progression ends with a double plagal cadence in the key of the dominant (in the Mixolydian mode) and could also be respelled ii–bVII–IV–I, opening with a backdoor turnaround. The chord progression is also used in the form IV–I–V–vi, as in songs such as "Umbrella" by Rihanna [5] and "Down" by Jay Sean. [6]
Minor chords are noted with a dash after the number or a lowercase m; in the key of D, 1 is D major, and 4- or 4m would be G minor. Often in the NNS, songs in minor keys will be written in the 6- of the relative major key. So if the song was in G minor, the key would be listed as B ♭ major, and G minor chords would appear as 6-.
Though power chords are not true chords per se, as the term "chord" is generally defined as three or more different pitch classes sounded simultaneously, and a power chord contains only two (the root, the fifth, and often a doubling of the root at the octave), power chords are still expressed using a version of chord notation.
In major keys, the chords iii and vi are often substituted for the I chord, to add interest. In the key of C major, the I major 7 chord is "C, E, G, B," the iii chord ("III–7" [11]) is E minor 7 ("E, G, B, D") and the vi minor 7 chord is A minor 7 ("A, C, E, G"). Both of the tonic substitute chords use notes from the tonic chord, which means ...
