Get those first parts for The Middle down for next week! It’s a simple song, we can start something else if we all study up. Remember it’s up a whole step though, use the recording here on the website to practice!

Ayan

Hey Ayan, here’s a tutorial for the solo. We’re just going to play everything two frets higher than the video and slap a capo on your second fret to make up for the open strings. I know that first passage in the solo is scary, but it’s all hammer ons and pull offs! I would suggest even to start that we ignore the first hammer on for each string, so basically you would start on the second note (the highest one on each string) and just do the two pull offs. That’ll buy you time. Definitely bring this to Chris though and keep me posted on how you are doing!
