This is how I tabbed out "Old Man Samson" by Whole Wheat Bread. Along with listening to
album, I looked at a live video to see where Aaron Abraham is playing and it tends to
pretty low on the neck. When I looked carefully, I noticed that during the "Intro"
he plays with his index finger barred on the 4th fret and keeps his hand in this one spot
the most part. Using this info, I was able to transcribe what I believe is most accurate.
It took me a bit to get this all figured out, but it was worth it and should be pretty accurate.
Tuning: Standard - EADGBe
