Kristi, Jack's numbers do mean what you said, but only if you're playing in the key of C...that way, C is the root and = 1. But if you play it in E, then E = 1. It all depends on what key you choose to play it in, but the name of the key = 1.

Joe's numbers referred to the chords he chose. If he was playing in A, then 1 = A, 4 = D and 5 = E.

Jack was referring to the notes of the melody, Joe was referring to the chords he was playing.

But, no, you can't ask questions.
