Years ago Tom Hanway asked why I didn't include picking fingering in my tab. My reason was I thought players experienced enough to play it would have their preferences. But I also realized it might be helpful or instructive to show how I pick some stuff that's non-intuitive in what is, after all, an original arrangement. So I just uploaded a new version of The Lilting Banshee with right hand fingering throughout. Plus, I added left hand fingering in several spots. Places I didn't do that are usually repeats of previous shapes or phrases.
