SYNOPSISIn 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. 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). As well as high quality audio that will play in your cd player, you can insert the disc into your computer and watch animated number charts as you listen to the songs. 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.

Larry McCormack / The TennesseanThe first language of Music Row is money. The second is the Nashville Number System.Created six decades ago by Neal Matthews, Jr. Of the Jordanaires and elaborated upon by legendary session musician Charlie McCoy, the number system, is “shorthand for a song’s chord structure,” explains Michael Gray, Museum Editor at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.Nashville’s recording industry was thriving in the late 1950s, especially after RCA Studio B opened on Music Row in 1957. George Barker (The Tennessean) 6/10/1958Studio B was donated to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in 1992, and Matthews’ chart for Presley’s 1960 chart-topper “Are You Lonesome Tonight” is in the museum archives. To the uninitiated, the notations seem like hieroglyphics, but for those in the studio, it would have been universally understood, said Gray.Decades later, the number system remains a session staple.“Today, it’s ubiquitous in Nashville recording sessions,” said Green. “Probably more than 90% of the charts we are handed are written in the number system, all thanks to those intrepid pioneers Neal Matthews and Charlie McCoy.”Related stories:Rare Bob Wills film depicts 1940s touring lifeA posthumous love note from songwriting icon Cindy WalkerHank Williams: a Hatch Show Print regular.
