We calculate the tidal torque on a uniformly rotating 1 Msun star at various stages of core hydrogen burning by an orbiting companion. We apply the `traditional approximation' and solve the radial part of the tidal perturbations by matrix inversion of the set of finite difference equations on a very fine grid. We have identified resonances with gravity- and quasi-toroidal modes with up to 1000 radial nodes in the more evolved stellar models. For low forcing frequencies we find significant tidal response due to viscous damping of inertial modes in the convective envelope of the solar-type star. We conclude that effects due to stellar rotation (including resonance locking) may considerably enhance the speed of tidal evolution in solar-type stars.
