Stay Positive by the Hold Steady Transcribed by Aaron Grando The song is quite easy, a good crash course in using power chords if you're a beginner. Fun song to play and to sing along, too. The whole song is played on a heavily overdriven electric. You should be able to get the timing and transitions very easily if you listen to the song.
