the book is filled with a comprehensive
selection of hard to find chords. To accompany
the chords, Tobe A. Richards has included

and general information on tuning the Puerto Rican cuatro,
together with
useful fretboard and reference diagrams. Each
chord box or window includes information on
which finger to use, where to

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 Puerto Rican Cuatro 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: Do you do a Chord Bible
for any other members of the Charango family of
instruments?
A: Yes, we also publish titles for the Tres Cubano and Venezuelan cuatro (although this is more closely related to the ukulele).
Q: What’s the difference between a Puerto Rican cuatro and a Venezuelan cuatro?
A: The Puerto Rican cuatro is violin shaped and has has 10 metal strings divided up into 5 pairs (or courses). It’s tuned
BEADG (low to high). The Venezuelan cuatro is guitar shaped and his 4 nylon strings tuned ADF#B (low to high). The two
instruments have very little in common with each other.
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!
