Hi GMC'ers! In this opportunity we'll see a very famous ballad by Metallica, Nothing Else Matters, from the “Black” Album. This record, perhaps the most known of the band, was released in 1990 and was the factor that helped Metallica to make world tours (Wherever We May Roam tour and Nowhere Else to Roam tour). The “Black” album was the fifth released since “Kill em' all” in 1983 and it was the step between the aesthetic barrer the thrash period (Kill em' all, Ride the lightening, Justice for all) and the more heavy rock records to come (Load, Re-Load).
On this particular track of the record Michael Kamen took care of the arrangements, most of them string arrangements. I've tried to stick to the original arrangement and you'll hear the strings and all of the guitar fills that are on the record.

The techniques that you'll have to use to play this song are:

* Bendings
* Sliding
* Fingerpicking
* Legato

The original form of this song is:

               Bar
Intro         1-24
