Collateral Damage by Steve Morse 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 e-------------------------------t-p-h--------------------t-p--h---------e b---------------------------------^-^---t-p-h---t-p--h-----^--^---------b g*--------t-p-h--t-p-h--t-p-h---12-9-11---^-^-----^--^---15-12-13-------g d*-t-p-h----^-^----^-^----^-^-----------12-9-11-15-12-13----------------d a----^-^--12-7-9-11-7---12-9-10-----------------------------------------a e--12-5-7------------10-------------------------------------------------e e---------------------------------|-------------------------------------e b-t-p----------h--t-p--p----------|-------------------------------------b g---^------------^--^--^---------*|-------------------------------------g d-15-13~~~~~~--13-15-13-12~~~~~~-*|-------------------------------------d a---------------------------------|-------------------------------------a e---------------------------------|-------------------------------------e This is the other cool tapping part, Steve and the bass mirror each other. figure 1b e---------------------------------------------------|-------------------e b--t-h-h-t-h-h--------------------------------------|-------------------b g*---^-^---^-^-t-h-h-t-h-h-t-h-h-t-h-h-------------*|-------------------g d*--9-4-7-9-4-5--^-^---^-^---^-^---^-^-t-h-h-t-h-h-*|-------------------d a---------------9-4-7-9-4-5-7-2-5-7-2-3--^-^---^-^--|-------------------a e---------------------------------------7-2-5-7-2-3-|-------------------e Here the guitar hangs with the oper E and the bass does some stuff with touch harmonics bass touch harmonics e-----------------------------------------------------------------------e b b g g d d a a e-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-e 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. b+r / Guitar touch harmonics e-------------/--\-3<15>-5<17>------------------------------------------e b------------4<16>-------------3<15>~~~~~--/\---------------------------b g--3<15>5<17>-----------------------------2<14>------/\-----------------g d----------------------------------------------5<17>4<16>2<12>4<16>5<17>d a-----------------------------------------------------------------------a e-----------------------------------------------------------------------e e---------------------------------------/10<22>\------------------------e b---------------------8<20>10<22>8<20>10<22>----10<22>~~~~~~~~~~~-------b g-----------7<19>9<21>--------------------------------------------------g d-7<19>9<21>------------------------------------------------------------d a-----------------------------------------------------------------------a e-----------------------------------------------------------------------e e-----------------------------------------------------------------------e b-----------------------------------------------------------------------b g-----------------------------------------------------------------------g d-----------------------------------------------------------------------d a-----------------------------------------------------------------------a e-----------------------------------------------------------------------e 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.
