> 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

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

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

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

figure1b
bass touch harmonics
guitar touch harmonics

riff1b
figure2
walking bass line
bridge
figure 3
figure 2
bass solo

* the guitar solo connects with figure 3, they?re on the same scale.
I you have any questions or comments on this transcription E- mail me at
al@leggett.k12.ca.us.
