Jimmy Eat World - The Middle Solo
I got this solo down in about 10 minutes, its really easy.
Listen to the timing for the song, sorry if it`s hard to follow.
every note listed is played in the song, so just listen harder
if you get confused.
For the pull-offs, you really have to pluck the strings as you`re
pulling off to get the same sound as Jim(pull off in a downwards
motion, rather than directly outwards). You cant do a cheesey
punk rock pull-off. It makes it harder to play it as fast
as him, but you can get it down in practice.

not sure how many times he hits these notes. A bit fast to
give a count you`ll figure it out.
