About the music
On Gitaartabs you can play power pop songs by Elvis Costello, including Good year for the roses and Good Year For The Roses v1. With only two available tracks you get a compact but tangible impression of his compositional style — sharp melodies and distinctive chord progressions that are characteristic of this genre.
Both songs sit at beginner level (difficulty 1-2) and are available as chords, ideal if you're just starting out or want to strengthen your foundations. Power pop demands tight rhythmic feel and clear chord changes; these songs are good practice for that. Pick up a pick, tune your guitar and start with the first song.
