What is this used for?

The purpose of a chord sheet is to provide musicians with a simple and quick reference for playing a song. It focuses on the chord progressions, making it easier for musicians to accompany singing or to play along with the song. Here are some specific purposes:

• Accompaniment: Chord sheets are primarily used by guitarists, pianists, and other rhythm section players to accompany vocalists or solo instruments.
• Simplification: They offer a simplified version of the music, showing only the essential chords, without the complexity of full sheet music.
• Learning: Chord sheets are useful for beginners who are learning to play an instrument and need to focus on basic chords and rhythms.
• Performance: They provide a quick and easy reference for live performances, rehearsals, and jam sessions.
• Flexibility: Musicians can easily adapt and improvise around the chord progressions, allowing for creative interpretations of the song.
• Memory Aid: Chord sheets help musicians remember the chord changes and structure of a song, especially during performances.

Who should use this?

Chord charts are commonly used by professional session musicians playing jazz or popular music.
