Whenever my uncle came over we would often sit by the fire and he would always play this on the guitar he brought with him he died of a seizure earlier this year, and i miss him so much. This brings back all the good memories with him, i'm sure he's still playing that tune wherever he is.
James Hetfield (at least at the time of making the Black Album and prior) was not a professionally trained singer by any means. This isn't knocking him but he was a guitarist/instrumentalist first and foremost, and really was only a singer because the band couldn't find one initially. He is a really good singer though.

@Tom Van Loenen imagine being that socially low in life you go on TH-cam to say an outdated word to someone that doesn't care about your opinion, or life, at all?
I also play the same song for my gf now I am not able to see my gf profile photo😐 and she is not picking my call also I think she is busy in listening my guitar recording 😶😐
Hey Is there anywhere that teaches this? I would love to know how to play this version. Just tag me if you find it plz. I'd really appreciate it. Thank you
Found this song during a very hard time in my life. I just felt so numb like nothing else mattered. It was a sad hopeless numbness, this video specifically helped me a lot, it comforted me alot. I remember sitting at the terrace looking at the birds in the blue sky flying while playing this song in the background on loop. I love this song since. It's like that specific memory, those strong emotions I was feeling, the wind, the smell, every moment, so vividly is somehow trapped in this cover. It's insane. Whenever I come back to this video I feel that numbness all over again tho I am in a better place now, it just reminds me a lot of that time and the comfort I felt listening to this song. I grew to love this song and this cover.
I love how compared to other fingerstyle players you actually play the song with no novelty type embellishments, just real straight, i think it elevates the guitar as a solo instrument
I started playing guitar during lockdown. Been getting the chords down. Few solos. Feeling pretty good about my progress. Then stumble upon this…. WOW.
Damn, 4:50 solo part is just a bomb. Every single extracted sound has played so detailed and accurate, in perfect time with a perfect speed! That part is a cherry on a top of that cover! Thank you!
When I was Little one of my best memories with my dad was him teaching me how to play this.. He commited suicide when I was 10. This brought back so many memories, I'm crying In my room wishing I could see him one last time...
My dad killed himself when I was 19. I hope you can find peace with what has happened. We have to be thankful for the time we get to spend with our loved ones. Because, although you were only 10, your time spent with him could always have been shorter. I try and incorporate the things my dad taught me throughout my life as a way to honor him.
I always like to wonder how a player as good as James would go down if he were sent back to renaissance times and played for a royal audience. 'Here we behold the master craftsman James Bartholomew with his candid interpretation of the Metallica - please my distinguished guests do enjoy.'
First song i ever learned on guitar six years ago. I was obsessed with this video. it was like magic. Still the best cover of it that i know of and some of the best inspiration i could get
lyrics: So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know I never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us, something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never cared for things they say Never cared for games they play Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know And I know, yeah! So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are No, nothing else matters
i don't know why....but i feel like i can hear this for hours....it just took me to another world.....very strange feeling.....Thank you so much brother[ i can't think of any other word to show my appreciation].
This is a perfect video. Not just musically, but the video work. This is a great lesson video, that’s not even a typical “lesson” video. Helps players with the more difficult parts of the song. Out-freaking-standing.
As I stand hear with tears rolling down my face, This reminds me of a friend from what seems an eternity ago, playing his guitar so similar to this it's uncanny. This song reminds me of my lost friend. Thank you. It is perfect
The guitar is such a beautiful instrument 🥺. It cries in ways a person could never even imagine. To the sound of it the soul heals ❤️🩹. Beautiful melody
It’s videos like this that inspires people like me to want to go out and purchase a guitar and learn to play... This particular song - a timeless classic is such a cool song! Great video!! 👍🏻
The guitarist of Metallica and James hetfield if they haven't already but they would really enjoy this piece. You play this with such consistency and flow man holy man I'm impressed
The most beautiful, perfect and accurate rendition of nothing else matters on an acoustic guitar. A lot to learn from this video. I've been playing it wrong all this time. Would love to learn this master piece of a song.
Okay now im playing guitar since like a month and i just learned the Em chord. God its hard to learn fast and thats why im looking at videos where people play way way better than me. Im not giving up until i succeed playing like that its so smooth and calm
i believe in you girl i started almost a year ago but i accomplished so much yet im a 14 yo girl so this makes everything harder yet i did it,, slay that guitar girl
I’d like to thank you. I saw this video about 2 years ago and had a lot going on. I purchased a guitar and have been in the learning process since then. Thanks for inspiring me to be better.
TOXIC VOID James Hedfield was playing around with his guitar(just picking open strings with one hand) while talking to his girlfriend and came up with this tune. So inspiring.. :)
damn sounds beautiful!! must be hard for someone who never heard the original to believe that it comes from a heavy metal band, this sound so calm, it's very relaxing!!
WTF this is soooooooo goooodd it was soooo smooth as someone trying to learn this song I can tell you it takes fking skills to do that man amazing absolutely amazing
Absolutely amazing! God has truly blessed you with such talent. No doubt you have put a lot of time in on this but truly a blessing. Thank you for sharing this!
Now a day it is easier for people to learn this tab faster from youtube. Back in the old day it took me 2 years (95-97) to mastered this tab just by listening to the tune from cassette and by watching James and Kirk fingers play in their concert from vcd, after that its just Nothing Else Matters.
Man I love ❤️ this with my heart 💜 like for real I learned how to play that song but I forgot and now you doing it is the best and it’s so clean and emotional 😭 Loved it :’)
its good of you its better of you its the best of you its the legendary of you ....this song is simply a piece of diamond for guitar players.....well played bro!
Whenever my uncle came over we would often sit by the fire and he would always play this on the guitar he brought with him he died of a seizure earlier this year, and i miss him so much. This brings back all the good memories with him, i'm sure he's still playing that tune wherever he is.
My uncle played whiskey in the jar around christmas last year he played this song a couple times too he passed bc of cancer recently
So sorry for you brother
@@almogsamon1893 brother?
Damn nearly made me tear up. Never had that kind of relationship with my family. Please, hold these memories dearly.
😭😭❤️❤️🙏🙏
Makes you realize that this song is an absolute masterpiece.
Unbelievable that you can write these kind off songs as a singer.
Metallica is legend!
Every song is a masterpiece
That makes me realize music is the best thing humans have ever invented.
THERE WAS NEVER A DOUBT

Those guys write some of the most intense music. The intricacy is astounding in Nothing Else Matters.
I bought his tab. It is so hard, took me 10 hours just to learn the first 2 bars of the verse. See you guys next year.
And now?
what about now ?
It’s been a year...
I want to know :D
?
eargasim... im trying to learn this during lockdown due to COVID19 and its this is the single most impressive version ive heard 11/10
Same wish u luck. I'm dreaming to play this song this confident . He is amazing sounds amazing
Ever heard of Kfir Ochaion?
Im also trying to learn it
Same dude lol
You will never learn this song it's to hard for you now prove me wrong.
There is only one word that can describe this. Beautiful......
Karolina Protsenko Violin TH-cam cover is amazing and beautiful also.
I'm impressed. This song is played with a rhythm guitar and a lead guitar and somehow you managed to combine those two roles into one.
Thanks man :)
Plus the vocal melody!

THIS is what not cutting corners sounds like. Everything about this version is difficult to play. And incredible
The simplicity of this song never ceases to amazes me. Pure unadulterated perfection.
You finally did it James. Turn out quite impressive. Smooth, clean and emotional playing. Loved it, man! :)
Clauss and it is inspiring too💕
Best part is that his name is James. Must be why he played this song ;)

Yes, the solo is incredible. I play this song with an electric guitar. Every time I've done this, I have an orgasm.
Damn, 4:50 solo part is just a bomb. Every single extracted sound has played so detailed and accurate, in perfect time with a perfect speed! That part is a cherry on a top of that cover! Thank you!
I honestly have no idea how anyone could dislike this.
It's simply awesome. In the true sense of the word. It inspires awe.

He commited suicide when I was 10.
This brought back so many memories, I'm crying In my room wishing I could see him one last time...
Be happy. Your father would be happy to see you smiling.

Sorry to hear that keep your head up
I always like to wonder how a player as good as James would go down if he were sent back to renaissance times and played for a royal audience.
'Here we behold the master craftsman James Bartholomew with his candid interpretation of the Metallica - please my distinguished guests do enjoy.'
Marc Spence didn’t know this mans name was James so thought u were referring to hetfield lololol
Same haha, I was like, do you mean Master Of Puppets for the royal audience? Lmao
'Metallica, you say!? Why isn't he employed in the smithy?'
That was a fucking story dude
He'd die young from syphilis because of all the back stage wenches he was bangin'.
I'm a pianist and now hearing this I now want to learn guitar so badly.
IVb22 my first months of guitar succcckkked and i wanted to stop but i got better and its so rewarding!
Lol that’s funny because I’m a guitarist and wish I could play the piano
Go for it my friend... But I thank it sounds better on piano easier to play too
I'm in my first month right now! I can't wait to be able to play this song someday

Both of the James have done a really awesome work
First song i ever learned on guitar six years ago. I was obsessed with this video. it was like magic. Still the best cover of it that i know of and some of the best inspiration i could get
4:50 i came hoping for this ❤❤❤
Great song, amazing cover. The scratch on the strings between chord changes on the intro is pure chills, nice work.
lyrics:
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for things they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah!
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
