There have been many threads addressing finger picking styles. They should be helpful. As to tabs, I believe they have been addressed before in a few threads.

Rebel songs are by their very nature political. So remarks as to that even on a music thread are not beyond the pale I don't think. And Ian has made many many contributions to Mudcat, so don't presume to be telling him he should get off this thread and go to the BS section. He has as much right to be here as anyone else.
