FAQs about The Mandolin 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 extended thirteenths. Q: I'm a beginner, will the Mandolin Chord Bible be suitable for me?
A: Yes. The Mandolin Chord Bible has a well balanced selection of easy to play chords, along with more advanced
shapes for experienced musicians.

Q: What's the difference between the different types of mandolin?
A: The F-Style and A-Style pioneered by Gibson are best suited to bluegrass and country music because of their short
sustaining qualities. The Celtic or Folk Flatback as the name suggests is ideal for general folk music where a longer sustain
is the requirement. The Neopolitan bowl or Roundback tends to take care of the classical repetoire. Then you have Electric or
Semi-Acoustic models which have found a home in rock/pop and recording setups. Some electrics also feature single courses
rather than double courses of strings. All however, tend to use standard GDAE tuning featured in this chord dictionary.

Q: Where does your Mandolin Chord Bible Series differ from other similar books on market today?
A: The first difference is the most obvious. The Mandolin Chord Bible has at least 1,500 more chords than
other publications up to this date. The second is the inclusion of a big selection of slash chords and
moveable chord shapes - additional material not available in other publications. 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: Do you do an Octave Mandolin Chord Bible?
A: Yes we do. But it's important to note that you shouldn't order the Mandolin Chord Bible if you own an octave and vice versa
as the scale length is very different. This means that quite a number of the chords are unplayable on the other instrument
because of the finger stretch/hand span. 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 and Amazon.co.uk. 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+.
