From Everything to Everyone (2003). Everything to Everyone (commonly abbreviated E2E) is the sixth full-length studio album by Barenaked Ladies. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the nearest rig we use for Barenaked Ladies' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
