Yes, there are are over 2,600 hours of transcribed RealTracks and RealDrums. That’s about 90% of all of them, We call the transcriptions “RealCharts”. This includes 100% of the Soloists (e.g. guitar solo) and 100% of Background Soloists (e.g. pedal steel background).

The 10% that don’t have transcriptions are typically unusual ones - e.g. chording ones on an instrument like bouzouki, mandolin, Charango, cuatro etc. that aren’t common instruments, are in special tunings, and have no MIDI pickup. Or novelty ones like jaw harp.

Remember that the RealCharts aren’t just for the notation. They are also useful for :
- onscreen display of the instrument fretboard (guitar, bass) or piano keyboard.
- guitar and bass tab
- drum display on animated drum kit
- use as a midi chart so that it is played by another MIDI (synth) instruments.

If you watch the notation and on screen guitar, even if you aren’t following most of it, you will visually recognize what it is going on, and I find it very helpful. Especially for guitar, it is such a visual instrument, that seeing the notes light up on the fretboard gives you a good idea of what is being played.

Have Fun!
