Over the past year if you clicked on the name of a tablature you might have gotten a message that it could be purchased separately or as part of a package. I finally decided that was probably not the best idea I've ever had so I have switched gears yet again and now all of the tablatures (I think) are back in the ezFolk tutorial sections. If you see any that aren't please let me know. I'm not great at going back and checking so it's possible.

I didn't count them but I'm sure there over a hundred and it took me about a month to get them all back up because I had to regenerate all of the graphics and MIDI files and redo the pages. In the process I updated quite a few. I added lyrics to most of the melody arrangements as well as chord progressions for people who want to create their own arrangements from the melodies. I also added three MIDI files for all of the ones I had to redo, although some of the older ones may only have one.

Another thing I did was to include standard musical notation for a lot of songs that previously only had tablature. I left it off on a few songs that were really long though.

On all the ones I need to redo I did the tablature about 620 pixels wide on the left side so if you print a page the right side of the tab won't get cut off. On the right side I added a subtle reminder :shock: that if you find the tablatures (and the website in general) helpful I would appreciate you buying musical stuff through the ezFolk links, which provides support for the website.

If you want to see what tablature is available for different instruments, here's a quick link to the a page that will take you there...

Have fun with the tablatures and let me know if anything's not right.

What can I say? The work you put in is phenomenal, thank you for your devotion to the preservation and spread of folk music.

I had been leary of posting links to the tab area here because of the 'please buy' set up, but I will not hesitate to include it where appropriate.

:clap: :clap: :clap: Thanks again.

Thanks Brad! That's very uncurmudgeonly of you and it makes me think maybe I'm on the right track. I do tend to experiment at times, but I usually come around to see the light.
