no... I saw Taproot play this song live. Mike played a 6-string. It's more then likely on a 6-string Baritone instead of a 7-String...

This tab is good. I just want to say something about the tuning. Whenever you see a tuning that is lower than C, it usually means that the song is on a 7-string. This song was probably played on a 7-string in Drop A tuning (AEADGBE). I say this because the strings on a 6-string just can't handle the tension being that low. I have trouble keeping my top string in tune, and it's only at a C!
