Hi,
There's a few good resources for charts around, like the Cosimini, the gipsy fakebook or the ireal gipsyjazz playlist. But they all have their quirks - specific writing style, peculiar choice of songs (when was the last time you played 'ding dong the witch is dead'?) inconsistent conventions, overly detailed transcriptions, or even plain mistakes.
As a result I took the habit of rewriting whatever song I came across at jams using my preferred conventions (and I'm sure everybody has a different idea of what a well written chart should look like, but that's another debate...) With time I ended up with a pretty thick set of charts, so I put some effort to proofread, consolidate and make it available it online.
Why 'Dummy'? Because 'Fake' was already taken, and because the charts were kept as bare bone as possible - avoiding embellishments, extensions, slash chords etc...
The main objectif is kind of selfish - leaving a few hardcopies lying around in the places I jam, as an attempt to lure people into challenging less well-known songs. But maybe this can be useful to other players, so I'm sharing it here too:

Cheers,

Edgar Degas: "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.... To draw, you must close your eyes and sing."
Georges Braque: "In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that can’t be explained."
After spending quite some time buried in my log files, I realised the problem is not on my side, but an issue with my host provider's DNS server, so nothing I can do until they fix...
(I'm using digital ocean, NOT recommended if hassle-free is what you're after. But you do get to learn of lot of stuff if you go with them
This is the last straw for me though, I'll move to a more reliable platform asap )
edit: as it's a DNS problem, you shd still be able to access using the IP explicitly

... as long as I don't change machine, which i hope won't be long...
The "delta" means maj7; "phi" is half-dimished (or m7b5); o is diminished.
