The Nashville Number System is 130 pages with a step by step method of how to write a Nashville number chart for any song. Included with each NNS book in Edition 7 is the cd, "String Of Pearls". This is a 10 song cd of instrumentals, including, Amazing Grace. I walk you through the details of each song and explain the Number System tools used to write the charts. Now, while listening to the cd, you can see and hear how Nashville number charts work.String Of Pearls is an Extended CD (CD ROM).

On the cd rom, there is a click track with each song and a highlight moving from chord to chord in time with the music. You can see exactly how to count each measure in real time with the music. Counting bars is probably the hardest part of the number system to teach. With this cd rom, you will be able to see, hear and feel how these charts work.

Download or read book The Perpetual Beginner written by Dave Isaacs and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Perpetual Beginner is part memoir, part musical instruction manual. Relating stories of his experiences as a young musician and music student in 1980's New York, author Dave Isaacs describes the key lessons that shaped his musical life and how they can help any aspiring musician at any age. The title refers to the average music hobbyist with more enthusiasm than skill or time to practice. Many people play for years without developing more than rudimentary abilities, and some become so frustrated by the struggle that they stagnate or quit. The stories in the book and the musical lessons they impart give these "perpetual beginners" the ideas, techniques, and encouragement that will help them begin to progress again. The title also references the Zen concept of "beginner's mind", a way of approaching any endeavor with the openness and zeal of a beginner regardless of experience. Maintaining a beginner's mindset removes many of the self-limiting beliefs and inhibitions that hold many people back, thus enabling the learning process - hence the book's subtitle, "A musician's path to lifelong learning." Author Dave Isaacs is a musician, performing songwriter, and teacher based in Nashville, where he is known as the "Guitar Guru of Music Row".

Download or read book Piano Chords Three Numbers written by Micah Brooks and published by WorshipHeart Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You may be surprised to find out that there are only four chords that make up most of the songs you hear. In fact, one of those four is just the fundamental chord, but with a shifted down bass note and sounds darker. This means that you only need to learn-and you absolutely can learn-how to recognize three main chords with just your ear. You'll be able to play most songs without needing any sheet music or searching for the chords online.If you've ever wanted to know how to hear a song and play the chords by ear, Piano Chords Three: Numbers is a way to do that! Here's how it works: Professionals listen for the chords in a song as numbers instead of the chord names. Each key changes the names of the chords, but not the numbers. For instance, in the key of C, the 1 chord is C. In the key of G, the 1 chord is G. The 1 chord is a very simple chord to hear. Once you hear the fundamental, distinct tone of the 1 you can then find the key by testing several chords until you find the right one. Then you not only know what key you are in but also the fundamental 1 chord for that key. All the other chords in the song build from that one!Piano Chords Three: Numbers includes:-Welcome: Why Numbers and What Are They?-One: The 1 Chord and Its Dominance-Two: The 4 and 5: The Other Pillars-Three: The 6m: Just A Dark 1 Chord-Four: The 2m: The New 4-Five: The "Over" or Passing Chords: 1/3, 5/7, and 4/1-Six: The 3m and 7dim-Seven: The ?7, 2, and 3: The Accidentals-Eight: The Most Common Chord Patterns (You'll Hear These Everywhere)-Nine: Going A Little Beyond: Chord Suffices-Final Greetings and Pop QuizEveryone can do this! New players and seasoned!
