FAQs about The Cittern Chord Bible
etc.
Q: Are
the chords in this guide based on theoretical
chord knowledge alone, rather than actual
'hands on' experience?
A: Absolutely NOT, every chord in the Chord
Bible has been created with an actual instrument
on hand to check for
voicing, fingering and average hand/finger span.
Q: Will I need all the
chords in this guide?
A: Probably not, but the whole ethos behind
these guides is to provide a complete chord
solution for the musician
wanting to pick up virtually any songbook in the
certain knowledge that he/she will find that
elusive chord in the
Chord Bible, from basic majors and minors up to
exotic thirteenths.
Q:
I'm a beginner, will the Cittern (Shortscale) Chord Bible be suitable for
me?
A: Yes. The Cittern Chord Bible has a
well balanced selection of easy to play chords,
along with more advanced
shapes for experienced musicians.
Q: Where does your Cittern Chord Bible Series differ from other
similar books on market today?
A: The first difference is the most obvious. The
Cittern Chord Bible has at least 1,800 more
chords than
other publications up to this
date. The second is the inclusion of a big
selection of slash chords and - additional material not
available in other publications. Thirdly, we're
proud to state that we're currently the only
publisher to publish a Cittern specific
chord dictionary!
Q: I have a longscale cittern. Do you do
similar guide for that instrument?
A: Yes. A sister publication is also available
from Fretted Friends Music, featuring CGDAE
(fifths). DGDAD (Irish)
& DGDGD (Modal G) tunings
Q:
How can you tell if your cittern is long or
short scale?
A: The guidelines are little blurred in this
area, but you can roughly class instruments with
a scale of between
21" and 23" as shortscale and anything up to
25½" as longscale.
Q:
Would this guide be suitable for 10-string Irish
Bouzouki?
A: No. We'd advise that you purchase our
Cittern Longscale Chord Bible for the 10-string
bouzouki.
Q: Does having
so many chords make the book a more daunting
prospect for beginners?
A: Not at all. The content is very
straightforward and logical, with the most
frequently used chord types easily available.
Q: I'm interested in your
Chord Bibles, but you don't seem to have a book
for my particular instrument.
What are your plans with regard to this?
A: Keep a keen eye open for new Chord Bibles
on eBay. A number of other
guides are in
preparation or are planned for the future. Feel
free to ask for details.
Q: Do you have left-handed
versions of your books available?
A: Not at the moment, but it's a fairly simple
process to print out a few blank chord boxes
(available soon from
Cabot Books) and reverse the fingering positions
yourself.
Q: Are your books ISBN
(International Standard Book Number) registered?
A: Yes. They are also available from
Amazon.co.uk and orderable from your bookseller.
Q: How can
you publish guides like as these, when the major
publishing groups don't?
A: Cabot Books being a specialist publisher,
concentrates on a specific niche in the market,
whereas huge outfits
like Hal Leonard, Mel Bay or Music Sales Ltd
like to concentrate on titles that will sell in
multiples of 10,000+.
