FAQs about The Tres Cubano 'Long & Tall' Chord Dictionary

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 Dictionary 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 95% of songbooks in the knowledge that he/she will find that elusive chord in the
Chord Dictionary.

Q: I'm a beginner, will the Tres Cubano Chord Dictionary be suitable for me?
A: Yes. The Tres Cubano Chord Dictionary 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 'Long & Tall' Chord Dictionaries and Chord Bibles?
A: Firstly, the most obvious difference is the shape. The 'Long & Tall' Series is designed to be slipped into an instrument case
or pocket, making it ideal for travelling around with. Whereas the Chord Bible Series is in standard A4 book
size which opens easily into an A3 spread for lying flat or sitting up on a music stand. The second difference is the Chord Bible
Series features a huge number of different chord variations, ranging from the standard voicings to exotic extended 13ths. 
The Long & Tall' Series is by no means lacking in this department either, with its selection of at least 35 different chord types.

Q: Does having a lot of 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 publish a C Major (GCE) Tres Chord Dictionary?
A: Yes. A companion publication for Standard GCE C Major tuning is also available.  See our shop for details!

Q: I've heard it's possible to convert a standard folk or acoustic guitar into a Tres. Is this true?
A: Yes. A lot of people have done this quite successfully.  We would advise you to seek specialist advice over this
minor luthery job if you have little or no previous experience with this kind of work, though. It will involve re-slotting the nut,
saddle and possibly drilling new holes for the bridge string pins.  A classical or Spanish guitar is unsuitable
for this conversion as it was never designed to accommodate the extra tension needed for steel strings.
