OLD MAN SAMSON - Whole Wheat Bread

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. There are a couple of notes in the intro that could be an open
or a fretted note, I just did what I thought would be easier while playing the whole
It took me a bit to get this all figured out, but it was worth it and should be pretty accurate.
Tuning: Standard - EADGBe
