              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

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.
