Am attaching a tab of a great tune often heard at Irish sessions. It'd in D Myxolidan so it has mostly C naturals , with the odd C# (very commmon in Irish tunes).

In the 4th bar you'll see they play the Cnat on the 3rd string using the pinky, which I find tricky. I actually and play it on the 2nd string as in the other bars. Should I struggle on and learn it the 'right; way? It would mean being unable to play it so well for a while until I get used to it

I ALWAYS go with the easy way, as long as it sounds pretty good. No one ever knows the difference, except a guitar hero, and you're not gonna impress them anyway..
Btw, you didn't attach anything.

I find most tabs to be full of errors. Either the transcriber wrote his own way of playing it or he used a transalator program to go from notation to tab. When I watch a video of the original artiest it almost never is very close to the tab. Even in a published book!

Everyone has their own techniques. I say make the song yours by playing it the way you like best.
