How to play "Ewan Ko Ba Kung Type Kita" by Rivermaya on guitar

Tablature Explanation:
- The tab provided is for a guitar riff that plays throughout the song. 
  This riff is essential to capturing the song's feel and should be played cleanly.

Playing the Riff:
- Begin by playing the low E string at the 2nd fret. Use your index finger for this note.
- The next notes are on the A string. Play the 4th fret with your ring finger. 
- Then, slide from the 3rd fret to the 4th fret on the D string, using your middle finger for the 
  3rd fret and sliding to the 4th with the same finger.
- Repeat this sequence as indicated in the tab. The slide gives a smooth, flowing sound to the riff.

Rhythm and Timing:
- The riff's timing is straightforward, with a focus on even, steady plucks at each note.
- Maintain a consistent pace, ensuring the slides are smooth and the timing between notes is even.

Practice Tips:
- Start slowly, focusing on accuracy and the cleanliness of each note and slide.
- Gradually increase speed as you become more comfortable, but only once you can play it 
  perfectly at a slower tempo.

Common Mistakes:
- Rushing the tempo before being comfortable with the finger placements and slides.
- Not letting each note ring out fully, which can chop up the riff and disrupt its flow.
- Inconsistent pressure during slides, which can lead to a weak sound or missed notes.

General Tips:
- Use alternate picking for this riff to maintain a fluid motion and control over your timing.
- Listen to the song to understand how the riff fits within the overall rhythm and melody of the track.
- Ensure your guitar’s action and strings accommodate slides easily to avoid any stiffness in movement.
