Welcome to Dylanchords 2

Finally!

I am getting closer to a workable modernization of Dylanchords.

It may have been a charmingly retro-looking site from the ancient days before social media and web 2.0, but it’s also been a bit of a hassle to work with. I’ve therefore been working on and off (mostly off) for some years now to modernize it, and now I’m almost there.

What you are seeing here is still to some extent a draft, but it should be a mostly workable one, in the sense that all the contents are here (apart from the Beatles stuff, which is on its way). The seach and the basic navigation should be working. There may be wrong internal links, here and there, and structural features that I just haven’t built yet, but it’s working, and all new contents will appear here. The old site at dylanchords.info will forever remain the relic from the 90s that can be downloaded as a zip file. 

User accounts

You can create a user account, but there isn’t much you can do with it yet, really. In the future, there will be thee things you can do:

- A forum for comments etc. The tab files themselves should be clean, so no comments there; any discussion should be held elsewhere.
Requests, corrections, error reports. This you can already do. Go to the Requests page in the menu and see. 
 — This will never be a wiki where anyone can edit, but there are tasks that a number of Trusted Users can do, e.g. correct typos, moderate forum posts, etc. If you feel like a Trusted User, let me know

Thanks Eyolf

Thank you so much for all your accurate tabs and chords for all these years! 

Eyolf - You have labored for

Eyolf - You have labored for years to offer a complete repository of the most accurate Dylan guitar transcriptions and superbly-written critical pieces. Your work has benefitted so many around the world. Your site has been an invaluable resource for me personally, and now you've modernized the interface. Thank you so much. All you do is greatly appreciated!

Thanks So Much!

Can't thank you enough for your wonderful site over the years. It looks better than ever now, thanks again!

Amazing - after all these

Amazing - after all these years I can interact with the amazing website! Thanks for all your incredible work over the years on these. And thanks for getting around to working on Fallen Angels and other recent releases too. Greatly appreciated.

You’re welcome! Wasn’t you

You’re welcome! Wasn’t you one of those who insisted I do Fallen Angels as well? If so, one way to repay me for my tribulations (quite interesting ones, actually) would be to submit a request or a bug report — just to check that the system works…

Much Appreciate Your Longstanding Commitment

Spending considerable time reflecting on Street Legal because it is so heavily represented in the Girl from the North Country musical. Sort of a blank phase in my Dylan knowledge. Some of his most evocative writing combined with a sound and style that wasn't carried over to the theater production. Interesting contrasts. Thanks again - have spent lots of quality time here over the years.

thank You

 a site dedicated to a much admired nobel prize. that's quite something!!!

Thank you

Thank you for the tabbing and keeping the site alive all these years! I can't imagine how many hours i've spent here over the years.
