A chord chart is a form of Musical Notation that describes Harmonic and Rhythmic information only. It is the most common form of notation used by professional Session Musician s playing Jazz or other forms of Popular Music . It is intended primarily for a Rhythm Section (usually consisting of Piano , Guitar , Drums and Bass ). In these genres of music musicians are expected to be able to improvise the actual notes used to represent the chord and the appropriate ornamentation or counter melody. The harmony is given as a series of Chord Symbol s above a traditional Musical Staff . The rhythmic information can be very specific and written using a form of traditional notation, sometimes called Rhythmic Notation , or it can be completely unspecified using Slash Notation , allowing the musician to fill the bar any way he sees fit (called " Comping "). The term "chord chart," when used by professionals, is usually abbreviated to "chart." CHORD CHARTS IN COMPUTER FILES |
