Jimmy Eat World - The Middle Solo
 
Listen to the timing for the song, sorry if it's hard to follow.
 
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 can't 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.
