FAQs. 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 Cittern Shortscale Chord Bible be suitable for me? A: Yes, it has a well balanced selection of easy to play chords, along with more advanced shapes for experienced musicians. Q: How can you tell if your cittern is long or short scale? A: The guidelines are a 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: Do you do a Chord Bible for any other members of the cittern & mandolin family of instruments? A: Yes, we also publish titles for the mandolin, Irish bouzouki (GDAD & GDAE tunings), (tenor) mandola, octave mandolin, mandocello, Greek bouzouki, Portuguese guitar (Coimbra & Lisboa tunings), waldzither and Laud.

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!

A few comments from customers of The Cittern Longscale & Shortscale Chord Bibles: "I found it while I was browsing for chords in DGDAD tuning and it looks immensely useful as a reference and a guide for my students." (Adam B. UK) "I only really wanted it for the modal tuning initially, but have found the other two tunings interesting as well". (David F.L. USA) "Soooooo many chords in one book - love it" (Mike G. UK) "Thanks, Chris for answering my questions on the cittern. It helped me to choose which book to purchase" (Claire K. Australia) "A+++++++++ Great book. Quick service and well packaged" (Larry S. USA) "I like Fretted Friends for their unusual publications. This is my second book from the UK." (Gabriel F. Belgium) "Only cittern book out there - happy to say it's a good one!" (Leonard A. Ireland) "I bought a cittern and fiddled about on it for about 18 months, not knowing what tuning to use and rather losing interest out of frustration. Saw this book on eBay and bought it on a whim. It turned out to be a good whim and although I tend to stick with the one tuning (modal G), I may experiment with the others in the future. V. good book!" (Jeff B. USA) "Just did the easy bit - bought the book ....now gotta get a cittern! Not an expert, but it looks very clear and easy to understand" (Frank F. Scotland) "I ended up buying a shortscale cittern, after trying several out at my local music store. The longscale was a bit big for me, but the shorter scale was a lot more like the guitar length I was used to". This Chord Bible is my teacher! (Nancy H. USA) "Word of warning. Buy the right Cittern Bible for the right scale. I impulse bought after seeing the word 'cittern' and ended up with a longscale book for a shortscale instrument. Fretted Friends were kind enough to let me return it for the right book, though! Very happy with service and book." (Edward G. UK)
