Author/Artist: Third Eye Blind Title: Slow Motion Album: Blue Transcribed by: Thomas Dillard Email: cerberus_327@yahoo.com Here is a rather easy version of Slow Motion. I have arranged some of the piano parts for guitar to make it sound better when playing solo. The first part of the intro sometimes comes back in the verse. Listen to the song for an example.
