Blinding Lights by The Weeknd took the world by storm with its retro synthwave sound, pulsing rhythm, and unforgettable melody. For this guitar cover, I wanted to do something a little different—something that captures not just the music, but a vibe. So I paired my performance with the stunning glow of Kuala Lumpur's night lights, creating a visual and sonic tribute to the energy of modern city life.

Why "Blinding Lights"? 

This song has it all:

t's the perfect blend of old-school and new, which makes it an exciting challenge for guitar. I wanted to transform that signature synth line into a melodic lead guitar part, giving the song a fresh, expressive instrumental twist.

KL Night Vibes + Guitar Melody

Pairing the song with Kuala Lumpur's vibrant nightscape felt like a natural fit. The city lights mirror the song's neon-lit sound, and the iconic skyline adds a visual layer of energy to match the track's momentum.

What makes this cover stand out:

It's more than just a guitar cover—it's an atmosphere.
