Nashville Number System

Use this chart to easily transpose keys. If you are not familiar with a certain key, you can use the Nashville Number System to change the current key to your favorite key. Let`s say you want to play in the Key of D instead of F. Then the Key of G would change to E, the key of C to A and so on.

Guitar Parts

Here is a list of the common parts of an acoustic guitar:

• Headstock: The top part of the guitar that holds the tuning machines.
• Tuning machines: The gears that are used to adjust the tension of the strings, allowing for tuning.
• Nut: A small strip of material (often plastic or bone) that is located at the end of the fretboard, separating the headstock from the fretboard.
• Fretboard: The long, thin piece of wood that is attached to the guitar's neck, where the player presses the strings to create notes.
• Frets: Thin metal strips that are embedded into the fretboard at specific intervals, allowing the player to change the pitch of the strings by pressing them down behind a fret.
• Neck: The long, thin piece of wood that extends from the body of the guitar and supports the fretboard.
• Body: The large, hollow section of the guitar that produces the sound.
• Soundhole: The circular hole in the center of the guitar's top that allows the sound to escape.
• Bridge: The piece of wood that is located on the guitar's top and supports the strings at the bottom end of the instrument.
• Saddle: A small strip of material (often plastic or bone) that is located on the bridge and supports the strings, transmitting their vibrations to the guitar's body.
• Pickguard: A protective piece of plastic that is located on the top of the guitar, between the soundhole and the bridge, and protects the finish of the guitar from being scratched by a pick.
• Strings: The six (or sometimes twelve) metal or nylon strings that are stretched across the guitar's body and produce sound when they are plucked or strummed.
• Rosette: A decorative ring around the soundhole that is made of various materials, such as wood, plastic, or mother-of-pearl, and adds to the aesthetic appeal of the guitar.
