Nothing Else Matters Solo Bass Arrangement
This is a solo bass arrangement of the Metallica song 'Nothing Else Matters'. It was originally intended to be part of my book 'Solo Arrangements for Electric Bass', but was not included as I couldn't secure the copyright permission in time. The sheet music and an MP3 are available as a FREE download at Bassline Publishing (www.basslinepublishing.com). To download the sheet music, create an account and log in. Go to FREE Stuff on the main menu and look under the bonus materials for the Solo Arrangements book.
This was played on my Zon Sonus bass, through a TC Electronic RH450 amp.

As hard as this is to play, imagine how hard it must've been to compose
10/10, you inspired me to buy a bass.

Hi, thanks for the nice comment! :D I can play almost fluidly until the minute 3:28: that tapping part is soo hard, and it sounds really bad when I do it. All the tapping parts in generale sound like I'm smashin some metallic stuff together ... I don't know, doesn't feels as good as when you play it. Do you have any advice on how to perform the tapping parts of the song? Thank you!

Plug your bass into an amp and I guarantee the metallic sound will be gone.
People that do not play bass can’t possibly appreciate how hard that was to pull off on a bass. Excellent!!!!!
I didn't expect that from a bass guitar! You have shown what a bass guitar is in the hands of a master! Bravo! I tip my hat to Your skill! Respect from Uzbekistan!
oh, I wasn't expecting that prog masterpiece thrown at my face when the title said "Nothing Else Matters".
Hi, thanks for the kind words about my video - glad you like it! I teach online via Skype and would be happy to help you out with some lessons. Drop me an email through my website.
I heard this years ago and it's still my favorite bass cover!
This is why the bass is so unique! Hats off to you sir! Jaco Pastorius \m/
Holy... Mother... Of... God.

If davie would make memes and not memes, he would wield to much power. - so he restricts himself.
The song that comes out of this bass touches me even more than the original
masterpiece. i can't tell you how many times i've listened to this and watched in awe
So beautiful arrangement, I hope that I will be able to do the same thing some day...
Effing brilliant, mate. Very inspiring. Your interpretation is impressive. You really show how versatile the bass guitar is. Well played, sir, well played.
Listen with headphones in on full volume...I can promise you the best experience!
I have not heard a Zon bass since the early 90's.....Sounds just like I remember.....awesome!
*-* that's why I love e-bass
Wow. That's really impressive! Best cover of Nothing Else Matters I ever heard!
Я переслушал множество каверов этой песни, но Ваш кавер оказался лучшим! Мое уважение мастеру.
I have never seen a cover that impressed me like yours. Congratulations , you are very talented.
Best part is 0:00 to 6:22
Wow just wow. I can't believe how good this is. Thanks for sharing this.
BRO...YOU GOT A TALENT. FOLLOW YOUR PASSION AND YOU WILL achieve GREATNESS. SKY IS THE LIMIT
That is one the most beautiful / amazing things I've ever heard. I've been playing guitar for 10 years, and videos like this make me want to properly learn bass. Simply amazing techniques.
Impressionante!!! Sem dúvida esse é um dos melhores baixistas do mundo!!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Sensacional!
One of the greatest covers I've seen on KZread. Just brilliant.
this is fucking incredible, this is the best version of nothing else matters i've ever seen
You ser you deserve a BIG like!!!
É por isso que eu amo o baixo! Perfeito! Toca bem demais... Muitas técnicas numa só música, excelente! Queria poder tocar só 1%.
Realmente brillante!!! Como bajista y fan de Metallica.. La versión me erizó la piel!!
Soooo incredible. So difficult, so clean. Thank you for sharing that was amazing.
Amazing!!!!!!
Ich höre mir diesen Cover immer wieder an, weil er besser als das Original ist! Ich hab mir die Noten direkt geholt:) aber bis ich das spielen kann werden noch viele intensive Übungsstunden vergehen. Ihre Lieder und Arrangements sind fantastisch und großartig! Das macht ihnen so schnell keiner nach!

Also besser als das Original weiß ich nicht. Es ist verdammt gut, auf jeden fall, und mit abstand das schwerste Bass Arrangement was ich je gesehen habe... Aber das Original ist meiner Meinung nach eins der besten Lieder überhaupt. Extrem ruhig, aber aggressiv, präzise und dazu eins der besten Girarrensoli überhaupt. Schwer das überaupt zu toppen.
This was incredible. Gave me chills. Awesome work!
God Damn. I came to this video expecting only the bass accompaniment of the song, not a complete rendition. I have the biggest smile on my face. This is amazing! Thanks for the upload, sir!
So great!!! good job
Stuart that gave me goosebumps. absolutely beautiful it was. your amazing
So it HAS been done. I knew someone would arrange this for bass. It is so perfect sounding on bass. Thanks for your talent.
One of the best things ive seen on youtube. I watched this a long time ago and thought id watch it again, absolutely loved it! Bravo!

J'adore écouter cette arrangement. Une de mais première reprise ou j'avais essayer de la jouer, avec une basse piccolo. Magnifique reprise. Good job
At the beginning, his pops after not even getting through the first thought in music, this man is a creator with high demand, in my humble love for bass clef ALWAYS.
I want to give this man a hug.
Thanks!!!!
women must love your fingers :D
Fingers of steel. Spectacular!

You're right about his style though. More like Hamm, or Wooten. Obviously, he embraces Jaco as well.
I look at all the talent and skill in this guy and him playing and he only has like 700k hits and then a no-talent hack has a song about gang num style and gets a gazzilon hits... what the fck is wrong with this world

I argue with my 16 year old nephew about whether SOME (key word some) rap is music or not. I ask, "Ok, since it's music, what key is it in? Other than the percussion parts it can't be written on a staff. Real music can be written, it has a key, sharps, and flats etc. From Mozart to Metallica a G is a G, and a E is a E."

+Woody H rap is rhythmically based. And if you are looking for the key, most times you can find out what it is by hearing the background music
@woodyh4650

+TPR8473 True. The background music does sometimes have a key. Because they have "sampled" it from a real song. Again this isn't applicable to ALL rap.

Big respect man, this is really, really insane!
Time to quit music.
I have fallen in love with this bass solo cover 💗
I haven't been inspired by a solo bass performance in a long time. Thank you for your post. Your creativity on the theme around the 3:30 mark is great.
never get tired of watching this, you're a star!
Incredible. Flawless technique!
I owe so much to this video.. This made me realize the deceptively full potential that a bass has, and also introduced me to Jaco Pastorius with that poster.
Can't stop listening to this. Pretty much everyday. can't get that fast finger tapping down quite well
SOOOO TALENTED AND CREATIVE !
Close your eyes and listen.. it's .. wonderful
That's amazing. I might learn that as a personal jam. You're version just is so satisfying.
Im completely addicted to this video cannot stop watching... Amazing cover :D
Phenomenal musicianship, a fantastic arrangement!
I can't play it like that bass, but, I can do a lot more with it than I imagined. Thanks for the inspiration!
Stunning. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this inspiring interpretation
Großartige Leistung! Sehr begabt der Mann! Und toller Song!
Can't stop listening! Very well done!
That's one of the most amazing things i've ever seen on bass.
This is just... made me speechless. Great Cover.
That's absolutely amazing! Good job
Wow amazing! great bass playing. I loved it
Anyone just found this during quarantine period? Good time amidst adversity
so beautiful
Sounds so sad on bass yet it still sounds so epic
wow. this is the best thing i've seen. feels so good
Thanks for the compliments! A lower action can be helpful with tapping, but really the best thing to do is watch as many videos as you can to see how others are doing it!
what an impressive timbre, the incredible performance, congratulations, the arrangement is very beautiful
That was mesmerizing. Also love that Jaco Pastorius Poster on the back. Really good job!
Incredible!! Fantastic playing
Totally awesome and mesmerising.....well done.
I'm crying...it is amazing!
Absolutely delightful! Thank you for sharing!
That is just AMAZING !!!! You're an amazing musician!
Amazing, just amazing!
When I watch such a great performance I feel motivated to play more on bass ... thank You.
