Stuck In The Middle

How to play Stuck In The Middle by Tai Verdes on guitar

This is a fun beginner song to learn because the groove stays steady and the chord movement gives you a catchy, upbeat feel. You can focus on staying relaxed and keeping the rhythm even while the progression repeats.

You will spend most of your time on open shapes with D, Dm, and A, then add the harder barre shapes Bm and F#m when they show up. The change to watch is the move from the open chords into Bm, since that shift can slow you down if you rush it.

Start by looping D - Dm - A - Bm slowly and cleanly, making each change sound clear before you try full speed. Then add F#m if it appears in your chart, and gradually bring the tempo up until the changes feel automatic.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
