Tab for Third Eye Transcribed by Brian Armstrong (brian@technonet.com) Added to t.d.n: January 15 1997 "Third Eye" (an epic exploration of the sub-human primate mind) First of all, this song has several effects that are very difficult to reproduce. There are numerous delay effects and a keyboard. I have focused on taking the guitar parts that sound most like the guitar and TABing those parts, with some strange shit making it into the TAB. FACTS ABOUT SONG: KEY: D MINOR Tuning: DROP D and high E D - The song never switches SONG HAS a 1..2..3 feel B - keys, so if your trying Special note:When ever you G - to reproduce the effects hear a big noise D - stay in the key of Dm. it is a D, with A - fat ass distortion D - on it. I will list all the riffs and such first then show the order.

Then we end up at the Blabber Finger Riff (I remember Maynard's stage antic) Then we play various main riffs untill SOLO 1. After SOLO 1 we play the PRE IN OUT RIFFS(Blabber finger included) Then the In out riff. I missed you riff 1 and 3 to PRYING OPEN MY THIRD EYE. I missed you riff 2 and 3 to ENDING RIFFS THEN keep playing the IN OUT RIFF DURING THIRD EYE OUTRO This is probably the most powerful song I have ever heard/felt. I saw it live and was reduced to nothing while it was playing. Long live the GENRE of TOOL, the most moving music of my time. Brian Armstrong (brian@technonet.com)
