Can't say with 100% conviction that the chord voicings are correct here, so these are my best guess-they're definitely in the ball park, but I'd welcome any informed comment which might get at the truth.

Hello From France
This is one of the first time I can see the chords voices right in the harmony. Very good stuff. I've read (not played) the arpegios sequences and you seem to be prety good. It's curious since I'm trying to play that song with human choir. I have to arrange the voices.
Hope to see some Genesis (from Peter Gabriel Area)12 strings arpegios some day.

You're very kind Christophe. I'd love to give the Geneisis stuff a go. Now, does anyone know what tunings they used?
Hello Paul,
I know that Michael Rutherford had several weird tunings (even the small strings of its twelve strings were sometimes not the same). It seems to me that Steve Hackett used standard tunings but I might be wrong. Those old songs contains a lot of crossed arpegios so it's very difficult to separate one guitar from another. If you add the different tunings then you've got something quite difficult to transcribe.

A good one to transcribe would be "entangled" from Trick of the tail album. Great great arpegios.
More difficult would be "the musical box" from Nursery Crime and the long last song from Selling England album because of the tunings of the twelve strings. First song should be with F sharp on bass and the last contains the double strings of the electric 12 strings not tuned in octave. Can't remember the trick.
Agreed. Entangled is beautiful!
