Piano Chord Scales - Nashville Chord System
Chorded By: Da Tickler (3/9/09)

Here is a table of piano chord scales which are commonly referred to as the
'Nashville Chord System' of numbering chord scales (1-7). It comes in very
handy when you're writing songs & you're looking for that next chord in a
particular progression in your song. From left-to-right these are the chord
scales for the 'MAJOR' chords.

*** The 'MINOR' chord scales can be easily derived from thses MAJOR chord
    scales by beginning at #6. Hence, 6 becomes 1, 7 - 2, 1 - 3, 2 - 4, etc.
