How to play "Table For Two" by Rivermaya on guitar

"Table For Two" by Rivermaya features an intricate guitar intro followed by 
a simpler chord progression. This song is perfect for intermediate guitarists 
looking to practice fingerpicking alongside chord transitions.

Tuning: Standard tuning (E A D G B E)
Capo: No capo required

Intro:
The intro is a fingerpicking pattern that repeats several times. It's important 
to maintain the tempo and ensure clarity in each note.

Fingerpicking Pattern:
e----------------------------2-----2-----------2------|
B------------3---2---2----------------------------3---|
G--------------0---2---2-----------------2------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------|
A----2------------------------------------------------|
E--3--------------------------------------------------|

This pattern is played four times as part of the intro. The notes focus 
primarily on the higher strings, creating a melodic line that complements 
the underlying bass notes on the lower strings.

Verse:
The verse uses the same fingerpicking pattern as the intro. Practice 
transitioning smoothly between the patterns without losing tempo or rhythm.

Chord Progression and Strumming:
After the intro and verse fingerpicking section, the song transitions to a 
simpler chord progression:
- Chords: G, A

The strumming pattern for these chords is not specified, but a standard 
down-up strumming pattern can be used. Listen to the song to match the rhythm 
and feel:

G - A

e----3----------------------------------|
B----3----------------------2-----------|
G---------------------------2-----------|
D---------------------------2-----------|
A--2------------------------------------|
E----3----------------------------------|

General Tips:
- Practice the fingerpicking pattern slowly at first to ensure accuracy in 
  finger placement and picking. Gradually increase speed as you become more 
  comfortable.
- For the chords, make sure your transitions between G and A are smooth. 
  This will help maintain the flow of the song.
- Listening to the track as you practice will help you grasp the timing and 
  dynamics better, allowing for a more faithful rendition.

Common Mistakes:
- Rushing the fingerpicking part can lead to muddled notes. Each note should 
  be clear and well-articulated.
- Losing the rhythm during the transition from fingerpicking to strumming 
  can disrupt the song’s flow. Practice these transitions separately before 
  combining them.

The intro and verse parts focus on creating a tender and intimate atmosphere, 
perfect for the song's theme of a personal and reflective moment shared at a 
"Table For Two."
