"Eye of the Storm" by Blindside About A Burning Fire (2003/Elektra/3 Points) tabulture interpreted/written/transcribed by Zak Hall zakhall@gmail.com Note: this is my best interpretation of what is being played, and is probably in some inaccurate, and I am aware of that, however, I put this out here because I believe it is enough to place out there, and is probably more accurate than most unofficial tabs, because I am avidly against stupidly inaccurate tabs. legend: #'s (1,2,3...) = fret number / note to be held, not finger placed there necessarily x =palm mute x##...=palm mute fret number || =end of phrase/measure(s) |||| = repeat phrase/measure(s) (#) = harmonics (on that fret) x(#) = harmonic strum # + # = hammer-on # * # = pull-off @# = vibrato # ^ (#) = bend note up (#) steps # / # = slide up # \ # = slide down $# = sweep pick [#] = optional (would fit, and/or sounds like it's being played, though not certain) #______ = hold out Tuning: Down a half-step (low-to-high) (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, eb) Note: For future reference, through out this tab, the strings will be labeled without flats, however they are still in the tuning above, this merely saves me, the tabber, time. ****NOTE**** this tab has been corrected by the author Verse Riff: (slightly distorted, then fully distorted) ("I think I've stayed for the last time...") starts on "stayed" 3/4
