              off the Coast to Coast album

This song ins't that tough as far as Steve Morse's guitar work goes. There
are a few tricky parts but I got most of it.
This is the intro, play it 2 times                          figure 1

This is the other cool tapping part, Steve and the bass mirror each other.

Here the guitar hangs with the oper E and the bass does some stuff with
touch harmonics

g                                                                       g

a                                                                       a

Now the guitar gets to do some touch harmonics, on the album Steve does it
so clean that you can hardly tell they are harmonics at all
* touch harmonics are made by fretting a note in first position and then
while holding your pick with your middle and thumb fingers and hitting the
note as a harmonic with you index finger in second position.
