From: Joel Sorensson
Subject: t/tool/third_eye.tab
song: third eye
band: tool
album: aenima
tabbed by: crazyredhills@aol.com
and: joel (j_sorensson@hotmail.com)
crazyredhills submitted his tab first, i corrected some riffs,
but at the parts where it's hard to hear who's right i submitted
boths parts. You can probably see whos parts are whos from the
layout. Hope it doesn't get too messy /joel
Tuning: Drop-D.
The song is pretty much in 6/8 beat up until the first "prying open"
rythm is played [06:01], then it switches to 4/4 beat. There is some
6/8-10/8 and then more 6/8. There's a bit of 9/8, and then more 6/8
only to end in 4/4. (a tad slow)
Squealing intro: (last bit.) [02:12]
