Comments about The Tenor Guitar Chords Bibles (Standard/Irish and Chicago Tunings):
'Terrific book of tenor guitar chords in both standard (CGDA) and Irish (GDAE) tuning. There's a greatsection in the back describing the many different types of guitars that I found very helpful and interesting,plus a list of different tunings (and their names) for different types of guitars. Maybe I'm the only personin the universe who didn't know that DADF#AB tuning (for a 6-string guitar) is called "Rev. Gary Davis BottleneckTuning", but I know that now! Mailing from the UK to the midwest USA took about a week - faster than I expected.'
(Kathryn L. V. USA)
'No really, there's not much out there for the tenor guitar. So if you come across this book,you MUST absolutely buy it. Clear and concise, you'll amaze your friends with your four fingered fretting.'

'A fantastic resource book - very fast shipping. Thanks!'
(Guy C. Canada)
'I bought the Tenor Guitar Chord Bible for my husband's birthday. He refers to it often and thinks it is the greatest tool to have. He also has his tenor banjo tuned in the same as his guitar. He has been playing it now for two months, each time he has a question, I see him looking up the chordsin the Chord Bible. He told me it was money well spent!'
(Jackie S. USA)'Superb!'
(Werner F. Germany)
'The only thing I wish they would have done is separate the tunings..In other words, half of the book dedicated to standard tuning and the other half to Irish tuning.Sometimes the chord charts are side by side going from one page to the next.'
