               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

 b                                                                       b 
 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.

 Now the bass and guitar weave rhythems back and forth, its hard to explane 
 you will just have to listen to the track your self.

 Now there is the sick walking bass line and the guitar holds the E for a 
 while 
  
  this part is kind of like a bridge, so thats what we?ll call it 
                                               Bridge

 This is the order of the song 
 Figure 1 
 figure1b 
 bass touch harmonics 
 guitar touch harmonics 
 riff1 
 riff1b 
 figure2 
 walking bass line 
 bridge 
 figure 3 
 figure 2 
 bass solo 
 super shed riff 
 guitar solo 
 *figure 3 twice 
 figure 1 
 figure 1b
