FAQs about the Mandocello & Chord Bible Series

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: I see the Mandocello and Tenor Mandola Chord Bibles have the same tuning. Are the chords identical?
A: No, because the scale lengths differ a great deal, it's not possible to use the same chords or fingering on both instruments.
So if you play the mandocello, we'd strongly suggest you order the correct book for your instrument.  This applies to any of the
Chord Bible titles - you should always select your purchase by instrument and not by tuning alone. 

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 extended thirteenths.

Q: I'm a beginner, will The Mandocello Chord Bible be suitable for me?
A: Yes. Each chord bible has a well balanced selection of easy to play chords, along with more advanced shapes for experienced musicians.

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 and reverse the fingering positions yourself.  We're shortly going to publish an ebook of chordbox, tab, stave and keyboard blanks in dozens of different configurations for this very purpose.

Q: Are your books ISBN (International Standard Book Number) registered?
A: Yes.

Q: Will this Chord Bible help me play from any songbook?
A: Yes. You'll be able to pick up virtually any artist or compilation songbook, fakebook or Busker book with guitar or piano chords in and look up the chords you need in the Chord Bible. It really is as easy as that!

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+.
