Nothing Else Matters tab by Metallica

Tabs with lyrics

Metallica - Track 8 - Nothing Else Matters (Studio and S & M version)

This is the ^Ñbetter^Ò version of Nothing Else Matters. Anyone who has seen or
heard the S & M concert will notice the split section showing how they
performed
both the live concert and the studio version of the song with both guitar
pieces
tabbed. When there are two guitars being played at the same time, the S & M
piece will already be put in it without the need of an extra fill.

If you saw the older piece I added for Nothing Else Matters you will notice
the
addition of abetter bar system and the use of additional parts of the song
I^Òve
labelled as ^ÑFills^Ò. The split system between the parts where there are two
guitars playing at once, has been labelledas either ^ÑGuitar 1^Ò or ^ÑGuitar 2^Ò
and the member who plays that part has been noted.

Next to the name of the player, there will be a label reading ^ÑPicked^Ò,
^ÑFinger
Picked^Ò or ^ÑEither^Ò. These refer to what right hand technique the player is
using. Note that ^ÑPicked^Ò refers to the use of a Plectrum or ^ÑPick^Ò. Also,
above
restrictions. For the time on S & M, I^Òve labelled theintro beginning at
0:24
because you can hear the crowd at the beginning, and to write 0:0 would mess
up
the time. I^Òve left out the timing in some of the fills but gave a short
description of where to play them.

*Underneath* each section of the song, a chord name is labelled for people
who
wish to analyse the song^Òs structure.

Yes, this can easily be played on an Acoustic Guitar.

This tab took a few hours to compile and is pretty close to how Metallica
play the song.

appear here once with all the fills. Fill # 2, 3 4 and 5 appear here. The

second
time the chorus is played, Fill # 3 and # 4 areboth played. The third and
final
time the chorus is played, Fill # 5 is played (Right beforethe Solo).


Note: The Chords are strummed in the S & M version.

Also note that the chorus changes in length the last time, where the series
of
open D MajorD chordsare played 4 times instead of 2.

This part is pretty easy for anyone. It can be played quite easily on
Acoustic...
James andKirk played this entire song on Acoustic. Anyone playing on their
own
should play Guitar 2^Òspiece.

Clean Electric - Kirk (Guitar 1 - Either)
Studio: 0:36
S&M: 0:0
Look at the bar lines for time referencing. I couldn^Òt work out the slight
variation of theS & M version. You may get confused knowing that there are 4
bars in this fill... and only 3 bars in the Interlude part... This is
because
James plays in a different time signature at one point.

After my last attempt at writing the solo, I received many emails from

correcting the position of the solo on the fret board. Here^Òs the

I won^Òt add any names because there are too many of you :P

Guitar Solo - S & M
Distortion Electric - Kirk (Guitar 1 - Either, Sounds as though it^Òs
Picked))
Distortion Electric - James (Guitar 2 - Picked)
S&M: 5:10

This is close to what they played on the S & M version of the song. Anyone
who has
seen the DVD will have noticed that James modified some parts of the solo
and saw
how they were played... They are the fills, added below the Solo. Refer to
the
studio solo for Kirk^Òs rhythm, it will be in same time as the S & M. Yes, I
may
have missed some small bits.

Fill # 7 - S & M (Solo)
Distortion Electric - James (Guitar 2 - Picked)

There are a few ways this addition could be played, but here is the closest
version
I managed to work out. There are 2 ways to play it, you might find one of
them easier.

1.
e|-12p10-12p10-12p10-12p10-|-12p10-12p10-12p10-12p10-12p10-12--12-12-12~~|

Fill #8 - S & M (Solo)
Distortion Electric - James (Guitar 2 - Picked)

This part didn^Òt change much, but includes a few slides and the beginning
starts
off on the 17th fret. The empty space at the end of the second bar is where
the
fill ends and the rest of the solo takes place back towards the top.

Ending - Single Guitar
Clean Electric - Kirk (Guitar 1 - Finger Picked)
Studio: 5:41
S&M: 5:43

The Open String part is played on S & M but not the studio, but here it is
anyway.
If you^Òre playing the studio version then play the parts surrounded by
stars.

write.
