A rhythm chart is like a lead sheet without the lyrics or vocal lines. By taking the vocal lines out of the staff, there is more room to indicate unique rhythmic notations that are beneficial for guitar, bass, and drums. Generally, these players are not singing with the band, so the vocal lines are not necessary. The advantage of a rhythm chart over a chord chart is that there is more detailed information about the song map and the exact rhythms of the chord progressions.

Split tracks are available for a limited selection of songs at PraiseCharts. A Split Track involves an MP3 stereo file where the vocals are on one channel and the instruments are on the other channel so that you can use the vocals for practice and then pan them down or out for performance.

In some cases, we sell downloadable audio tracks direct from PraiseCharts. In other cases, we simply provide a reference sample of the song that can be purchased on popular sites like iTunes or Amazon. When you purchase an audio file from PraiseCharts, you can make up to five (5) copies for practical uses. This is similar to standards set out by iTunes, etc. If you need to make additional copies, you can purchase them right in your Library.
