Piano Chords Three: Numbers - How to Play Songs By Ear Without Sheet Music Using The Nashville Number System (Piano Authority Series, #3) / Piano Authority Series (ePub)

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!
