Now, as a real incentive to get into the Nashville Numbers, go to: - 

“Authentic Nashville Number Charts – And I Love You So”

....and view in jpg format the ACTUAL Nashville Number Chart used by Don and his band to perform AILYS (Our thanks go to Don Guitarist KERRY MARX for donating this)

As an aid to understanding the Chart, we have also included authorized and authentic music and tablature for AILYS to allow you to compare and contrast the different methods of representing the song and to illustrate the different methods we will use in the future to transcribe Don’s Guitar work. Hope you enjoy them and let us know what you think!

I SINCERELY HOPE THIS BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO NASHVILLE NUMBERS IS OF SOME HELP IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE SYSTEM BEFORE. IT IS A VERY CONDENSED ACCOUNT AND NOT AT ALL COMPREHENSIVE, BUT IF YOU ARE REALLY INTERESTED THEN YOU MUST CHECK THIS OUT….

…. Learn everything about the Nashville Numbers System in your own home from Don’s own guitar player, KERRY MARX!
