Metallica: Nothing Else Matters on solo guitar Mettalica on the Black Alblum Tabber: Unknown First, let me make one thing clear. When I say solo guitar, I do not mean the electric guitar solo. I mean that this way you can play it by yourself or, in other words, solo. The song is like a ballad at about a waltz tempo.

It won't sound right without the backup. I just crecendo on Em, and then I do some arpeggioating with the chords for the verse: Em Em D C Em Em D C Em Em D C G B Em. You can also strum this part, but it is a nice break from the singing.
