Third Eye Blind
tabbed by: Kevin Brosky (3EBdude)
I was doing some figuring out with this one because I wanted to learn it so badly
and nobody has anything for it. I just recently saw Third Eye Blind and was
pretty close to them. I watched Tony and it helped me figure some things out for
the song when I got home. So this is what I have for it.
The tuning is EADGBD and that is for sure because Tony Fredianelli said so on his
site. It’s almost standard except the high E gets tuned down a whole step
(although you could probably play it in standard and it wouldn’t sound too much different).
Intro:
|—————————————————————————
|—————————————————————————
|———————————————————(5)—————
|—-(5)——(5)————(5)——(5)—(5)———————(5)—(5)-
|———————(5)——————-(5)——————————
|—x——5-5——5-5——5——5-5——5——-5-5—3-3——3-3——3——
————————| repeat
————————|
———(7)————|
——————(7)—|
—3/5-5——5-5——5-|
————————|
The hardest thing to get the hang of is that you almost have to be playing two
parts at once, combined into one part. The way I do it is my first finger plays
all the single notes and my second and third fingers do all the harmonics. That
pattern continues for the verses.
Interlude:
|———————————————|
|———5-7b—3-5-7———5-7b—3-5-7—|
|—6b-6b——4——-0-6b-6b——4———|

These bends are half bends
Chorus:
A G D
|——0-0————0-0————0-0-0-0—0-0-0-0-0-| repeat
|——3-2————3-2————3-3-3-3—3-3-3-3-3-|
|—2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2—0-0-0-0-0-0—2-2-2-2-2-|
|—2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2—0-0-0-0-0-0—0-0-0-0-0-|
|—0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0—2-2-2-2-2-2————|
|——————————-3-3-3-3-3-3————|
Then there is that distorted bridge thing and that goes like this:
|——0-0——————0-0———————-| repeat
|——x-x——————x-x———————-|
|——2-2-0-2—0-0-0—4-4—2-2-0-2—0-0-0—7-7-4-4—|
|——2-2-0-2—0-2-0—4-4—2-2-0-2—0-2-0—7-7-4-4—|
|-12/—0-0-0-0—0-2-0—2-2—0-0-0-0—0-2-0—5-5-2-2—|
|—————————————————-|
So that is the basis of the song from what I have gathered. There are maybe some
other little fills at certain parts but this is the main gist of it all. It should
be pretty accurate. I hope this helps and maybe some other people will have more
on this song eventually. Enjoy!
