[HammondB200]

Jamal, if you just saying numbers to your guitarplayer in the band he doesnt receive enough information to play-along. For instance: how does he know if its a minor, or the 5th should be flatted or the 7th? I find the number system really unusefull in these situations.

[GospelMusicians]

Then you simply say we are in Eb minor and call the numbers out. If it is a flatted then you say flatted or write it down. 90% of all music out today only has one or two flatted notes. It's used as a guide and the purpose was to demonstrate the importance. In my experience most of the bass players I know talk in numbers. It's the standard language and needs to be taught.

@HammondB200 Each "number" corresponds to a certain chord quality already, based on the key you're playing in.

I really enjoy this stuff man. It's good to get a different perspective on things.

for real! well said brother, i never knew this kind of lesson existed, this is the easiest way to communicate with musicians. Ive been using this method for a long time, and i never thought this lesson will be introduced.. even before i saw his video.. now i got the term! Number System! greetings from Philippines!

[timbreimperia]

What Jamal is doing is based on the numerical position of the notes in the scale of the key that was called out, in this case Eb. So as a musician in this situation you should be able to understand the chord qualities built from each of the scale tones 1=Ebmaj7, 2=Fm7, 3=Gm7, 4=Abmaj7, 5=Bb7, 6=Cm7. 7=Dm7(b5). In this situation anyone that knows the number system can play along just by having someone call out numbers. Who is adding the color in the various chords is another thing altogether.
