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-.
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 .
IV-V-I-vi chord progression in C major: 4: Major I–V–vi–IV: I–V–vi–IV chord progression in C: 4: Major I–IV– ♭ VII–IV: I–IV– ♭ VII–IV. 3: Mix. ii–V–I progression: ii–V–I: 3: Major ii–V–I with tritone substitution (♭ II7 instead of V7) ii– ♭ II –I: 3: Major ii-V-I with ♭ III + as dominant ...
2 is mostly used as an extra note in a chord (e.g., add2, sus2). 3 is the minor or major quality of the chord and is rarely written as a number. 4 is mostly used as an extra note in a chord (e.g., add4, sus4). 5 is the (perfect) fifth of the chord and is only written as a number when altered (e.g., F7 (♭ 5)).
The key note, or tonic, of a piece of music is called note number one, the first step of (here), the ascending scale iii–IV–V. Chords built on several scale degrees are numbered likewise. Thus the chord progression E minor–F–G can be described as three–four–five, (or iii–IV–V). A chord may be built upon any note of a musical scale.
Added tone chord notation is useful with seventh chords to indicate partial extended chords, for example, C 7add 13, which indicates that the 13th is added to the 7th, but without the 9th and 11th. The use of 2, 4, and 6 rather than 9, 11, and 13 indicates that the chord does not include a seventh unless explicitly specified.
These chords are all borrowed from the key of E minor. Similarly, in minor keys, chords from the parallel major may also be "borrowed". For example, in E minor, the diatonic chord built on the fourth scale degree is IVm, or A minor. However, in practice, many songs in E minor will use IV (A major), which is borrowed from the key of E major.
A significant moment is the Tonicization of the dominant with the use of vii o 7 /V chord (G ♯ dim) as part of the progression to V 7 (A 7 chord on "You know my name") and I (D chord after "number") that closes the verse. [8] The song is also notable for the use of the 5th chord tone on the VII chord to produce extra dissonance. [9]
