" Cuckoo Cocoon " by Genesis From ' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway ' TABLATURE: By Jeff Nicolaus (jnicolaus@msn.com) Sept 3, 1997. TUNING: Standard ARRANGEMENT: Taken off studio version. The guitars are mellow and effects laden. The intro and regular verse seem to have been recorded using a 'Travis' style of finger picking, where the thumb is alternating. This version is a little more syncopated and more to my liking. I will also include an 'optional' more aggressive style of picking for comparison.
