Third Eye by Tool from the BMG/Zoo/Volcano recording "AEnima" Transcription by Sam Rowe riddley@kaniggit.avalon.net riddley@geocities.com copyright Sam Rowe 1997 This document cannot be distributed for pay. This document may be used in any way as long as it remains unchanged. This song starts with the boys playing around a bit.. Adam is using a slide and the pickup switch a lot. I'm going to start tabbing around 1:12, which is where they seem to begin playing together rather than just screwing around... with slide (all notes vib.): E-------------------------------------| B--12-15-10-12-12-15-10-12-15-10-<12>-| G--12-15-10-12-12-15-10-12-15-10-<12>-| D--12----------------------------<12>-| A-------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------| He let's the harmonics feed back (I hit 5th fret harms for similar effect.) The other transcriptions I've seen for this song seem to skip this part entirely. It starts with the vocal (around 2:32.)

The "In..... Out" section is just E-----| B-----| G-----| D--7--| A--0--| D-----| repeated several times. I'm not going to count them, nor type them all. About 4:05 the synth enters the song along with many overdubbed guitar noises like pick scrapes etc... I'm only going to tab the loudest guitar as I don't think anyone really cares about the other guitar. Perhaps I'm wrong. If I get enough requests for it, I'll tab it out. Oh and by the way, yes, it _is_ all on one string.

I'll again let you listen to the album for the rhythms and whatnot... During the big rakes and open D's there is an over dubbed guitar playing Fig 3 in a really off beat rhythm this continues until 6:54. Live Adam played the big open D's and then switched to Fig 3 at (what would be on the recorded version) 6:15.
