Keys by the Numbers — Dobro

Pick a key. Its chords, its numbers, and what this chair does to reach it.

A bluegrass jam runs on numbers. Somebody names a key, holds up one finger, then four, then five, and everybody plays. Nothing is written down and nobody explains it, which is exactly why it is worth having somewhere to look it up.

Pick a key below and it arrives as its chords AND its numbers, with what this chair does to get there. The four a circle calls most — G, A, B, D — are the ones to know cold.
