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.

    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!

    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.

    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."
