Elvis Costello—songwriter, singer, author and Fender Jazzmaster known to his admirers as “The Little Hands Of Concrete” —spins his tale with wit, grit, and spit to spare. How to Play The Guitar And Y, Costello’s new entry into Audible’s Words + Music series, combines recitation, impersonation, and musical illustration to show you how to turn a three-chord trick into a four-chord caper and let your curiosity take you where it will.

So gather round your favorite listening device to hear a storyteller and musician at his most captivating as he reminds you not to be afraid to fail and to never forget to play.
