FAQs about the 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: 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 Octave Mandolin 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: Is there a difference between the Octave Mandolin and the Octave Mandola?
A: No difference at all, it's just different terminology used in North American (Octave Mandolin) and Europe (Octave Mandola).  The Tenor
Mandola (or Mandola in North America) is a whole different instrument which is tuned CGDA  or a fifth lower than the regular mandolin.
We publish Chord Bibles for both the Tenor Mandola and Octave Mandolin.

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 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 from Cabot Books Musician's Workbook
e-book Vol.1) and reverse the fingering positions yourself.

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+.
