Rad new pencils in Lonnie’s Farm blue! 💙Pencils are great for the Nashville Number System. A shorthand way of charting songs using numbers instead of chord names. Invented in the 50’s by The Jordanaires, it assigns numbers 1 through 7 to the notes of a major scale. Because the numbers represent the relationship between chords rather than a fixed key, musicians can instantly transpose a song to fit a singer's vocal range without rewriting the chart.
