Thanks! I just found the cuckoo like you play it in ken perlmans book. I have another version from tim jumper's book that has a different tuning (gDGBbD)and it's called the coo coo. Wasn't sure if it was the same.

Four Styles of Play Explainedby zeppmusic19,483 views
Don, it's wonderful (as always) the way you play that. I am trying to learn it, and can play it, after a fashion. But from watching Clarence Ashley on videos, and comparing with the way you play, I am sure that you do it the most like he does. I just can't tell exactly what either of you are doing!
When you do the brush/roll, there is a pull off on the first string/fifth fret with your ring finger. I don't understand the timing of all that. How do the roll and pull off work together?

@Bisbonian I've tabbed out the way I play this part as a response to your question. Please send me an email through BHO or to my zepp at zeppmusic address, and I'll send that to you.
The rasgueado first starts on beat 4, ending with a 5th string sounded on beat 1, followed by that pull off. (I pull from the 5th fret, some do it from the 3rd, and I don't think Tom Ashley did it at all.) The next rasgueado starts on beat 2, thus putting the 5th string strong on beats 1 & 3.

@zeppmusic Oops, I meant "strongly" on beats 1 & 3, of course

I like the sound of that! What kinda strings are on that? Is the cuckoo the same as the coo coo? What tuning is that in?

I really don't know what type of strings were on it--whatever Enoch ships them with... I have seen cuckoo spelled "coo coo." I guess that would be a phonetic spelling of the bird. Are you familiar with the Tom "Clarence" Ashley recording of this? It's played in "sawmill" tuning: gDGCD which is usually capoed 2 frets to aEADE. I just didn't bother to capo... :-)
