| | I've gotten quite a number of requests for tabs of my tunes so this is the first full-length transcription that I've done. It's handwritten and there's no tab or fingering so feel free to ask me if there's any part that's not clear.

Performance Notes
The song is relatively easy to play so much of it relies on interpretation and making the melody come out clearly. The tempo can also be stretched (rubato playing at different parts at a performer's liberty). The intro sets the mood, almost piano-like I kind of think and works like a bookend as both the intro and outro.
I also use the open G notes as an interior pedal for some parts. For the most part, this creates a dissonance with some of the chords which I like but the way I treat it is by playing it softer than the rest of the passage.
The transcription is the basic version of the song. I sometimes may play it with more variation in the right hand and recently with more harmonics. But, basically, this is the version that I came out with first and would pretty much be the version on the record.
About the song
I wrote this song in a resthouse in Tapah, Perak around sunset. It was a very beautiful evening and I was moved to write this. I picture it as a love ballad and like many of my slower tunes, the melody is very singable, almost vocal.
