The opening bars, as TabCraft shows them. Open it to hear it played, follow along, slow it down or change it.

Debussy's moonlit piano piece from the Suite bergamasque, with all four of its voices combined for one guitar: the melody floating over rolling arpeggios and soft chords, in 9/8. A piano can reach far more notes at once than a guitar can, so TabCraft moves some chord notes by an octave to keep each chord within reach, and many passages sit high on the neck. A showpiece to take slowly.
