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 1e-------------------------------t-p-h--------------------t-p--h---------eb---------------------------------^-^---t-p-h---t-p--h-----^--^---------bg*--------t-p-h--t-p-h--t-p-h---12-9-11---^-^-----^--^---15-12-13-------gd*-t-p-h----^-^----^-^----^-^-----------12-9-11-15-12-13----------------da----^-^--12-7-9-11-7---12-9-10-----------------------------------------ae--12-5-7------------10-------------------------------------------------e

This is the other cool tapping part, Steve and the bass mirror each other. figure 1be---------------------------------------------------|-------------------eb--t-h-h-t-h-h--------------------------------------|-------------------bg*---^-^---^-^-t-h-h-t-h-h-t-h-h-t-h-h-------------*|-------------------gd*--9-4-7-9-4-5--^-^---^-^---^-^---^-^-t-h-h-t-h-h-*|-------------------da---------------9-4-7-9-4-5-7-2-5-7-2-3--^-^---^-^--|-------------------ae---------------------------------------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 explaneyou 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 weÕll call it Bridgee-----------------------------------------------------------------------eb----/----------------------------------------------/-------------------bg--11~~--11-9-12~~--11-9-------9-11-9~~-----------11--12~~~-9-11-9~~~~--gd------------------------12~~-----------12-11-9~~-----------------------da-----------------------------------------------------------------------ae-----------------------------------------------------------------------e
