Be careful, bro, I learned a long time ago that just because someone happens to love playing a certain genre that is rather simple in musical construct does not mean that they cannot play the heck out of some of the other, much more difficult to understand and execute musics.

Going back years now, I'll never forget the day I found out that the cats in that "country" band could blow all of Charlie Parker's bebop standards - and solo in correct bebop fashion on them, as well. Even on Dobro. Or fivestring banjo.



I've met certain musician types who frown or otherwise make fun of use of Nashville Notation. Likely due to their own ignorance on the subject, likely due to their own inability to work with it, which, in actuality is rather easy to use.

And using Nashville Notation makes the art and science of Transposition on the fly a breeze. Cuts studio time something fierce and in the studio, time and money seem to be not a 1 for 1 equivalence at all.

1 unit of lost time seems to translate to 2 or more units of lost money in the studio scenario.
