Jimmy Eat World - The Middle Solo
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.
