How does a guitarist play sheet music designed for Piano/Voice/ and Guitar (chord charts)?

I follow the melody line, observing the chord names to play, but not necessarily the exact chords shown in diagram. Mindful of the time meter I will ad lib to what I feel is correct until I can listen to the artist's rendition. Even after hearing the recorded version I will usually play it in my style.

If there are certain bass notes in the F clef that captures my attention I will insert those if the song demands it. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
