In MySQL you can also do this:
SELECT * FROM artists
WHERE
LEFT(title, 1) = 'A'
AND
LEFT(title, 1) = 'H'
ORDER BY title
This will return a range of all artists whose title begins with A thru H.
Treat the letters like numbers.

('a','b','c','d','f','g','h')) AND (SUBSTRING(somefield,2,1) in
('i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p'));
