How to Play The Middle by Jimmy Eat World for Total Beginners
Oct 29, 2020
How to play the middle by Jimmy Eat World on guitar for total beginners is what today's beginner guitar lesson is about. This is my favorite song to teach beginners on their first lesson because we can tune down to Drop D tuning & use only one finger to play power chords & play through this entire song! It's tons of fun & super easy!

Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another guitar tutorial to help you learn guitar. This is a great song for beginners on guitar because of that. It's frustrating as a guitar teacher when a new student comes in who's been taking lessons somewhere else for years & they can't even play through a full song. That's why I love getting students playing this song right away so they can play real music from day one even if they've never played guitar.
Even though I am playing an electric guitar in the video, you can still play the exact same thing on an acoustic guitar and it'll sound great. Any song with power chords in Drop D tuning can be turned into a beginner guitar song for learning guitar.
