A Portrait of the Artist
I bought it on Amazon for $6.08 and then downloaded the audible app. It uses my existing Amazon password. I was able to play it in my vehicle and had a great time listening to it.Not surprisingly it isn't an actual guitar playing tutorial but more of a whimsical, often funny, memoir about learning and playing guitar and various aspects of guitar in popular music. EC is eloquent, clever, creative and often self-effacing - but we already knew that about him. Also - it isn't merely a reading of text like a run of the mill audiobook - there are a lot of custom musical sound clips and sound effects.Definitely worth a listen, actually I'm certain I'll listen to it again. I don't think a person would necessarily need to be a guitar player to enjoy it, but guitar players will probably enjoy it more than others.

Waffle with soundeffects
A very long and slow joke about how it is to pick up the guitar and learn to play. It gives a very basic and uninformative account of that process, with Costello's one raised eyebrow throughout the narrative supposed to keep you entertained. That didn't work for me ...
