The Irish Washerwoman (Tab)
Quite tricky to play this one. The first section is made up of campanella bits on G and Am (5450) mixed with short runs. For the runs in both sections it’s worth using pinkie, ring and middle for fretting. It’s a stretch in some places much makes it easier to set up for the chords.
My picking in this video is, I’ll admit, a mess. I use my thumb, index and middle and move them between strings. It’d be better to allocate one finger to each string in the campanella parts. Also, I used just my middle finger to pick the runs. It’d make it easier to speed up if you used index, middle, index in a running-man motion.

I love this stuff, especially campanella considered songs. Could you put the chord at the beginning of each measure though, so if someone wants to just strum or dig deeper into the theory they’d have a starting place? This bothers me a lot about some tabs and transcriptions.
