Bass Player: Dave LaRue

Another one of Steve Morse quasi-classical compositions, this is the tune ‘Delicate Balance’ from the 1996 Steve Morse Band album, ‘Stressfest’. Similarly to the transcription of ‘Busybodies’ published elsewhere on this website, the tune features LaRue playing a written counterpoint to Morse’s guitar melodies. Some really challenging jumps in here and some really odd movements that most will find testing. As with anything worth doing, start slowly and build up to tempo as you get more familiar with the chart.
