I haven't depended on charts now for more than 15 years..
Even new tunes , I can work out without the sheets.
Lose the charts..you may be pleasantly surprised that you don't need them as much as you thought......They have become a security blanket more than a tool..
Get those blindfolds on when you practice

....dump the charts and look at the audience with a big smile, in the end you'll be a much better player all around
