Nothing Else Matters(acoustic) Ver 1 by Metallica
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters(acoustic) ver 1 guitar tab
Arranged for single accoustic guitar.
I know that it's not correct in every way, but... it works :)
This is how they play it on their "Accoustic Radio Tour 1997"...
well... almost, hehehe. I also included the lyrics at the bottom, but I think
you all know the text (you should).
p = pull off
h = hammering
~ = vibrato/hold note
x = this string is not played
() = notes in brackets are played very softly
v = downstroke
^ = upstroke
Standard Tuning (E;A;D;G;B;e)
It's easier to play this one by fingerpicking,
and it's not as difficoult as it seems.
So here we go...

...but I know...
That's the point when James plays the small clean solo (as described beneath).
In the background Kirk plays the ‚verse'.
James' Solo (clean)
e---12-----14-----15-----17-----8-----8---------------8-------
B------12-----12-----12-----12----5-----5-------5---5---5-----

e---0------0----0------0----7-7~--7-7~--- (you can also play
B-----1------1----3------0--------------- --12-12~--12-12~-- here)
G-------0-----------2--------------------
D----------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------- Play the solo 2 times.
Then they play the ‚verse' and the ‚chord thing' which they've played
after the 3rd verse.
After the verse Kirk plays in the background something like that:
(Instead of the distortion, play the chords heavy!!)
Em Em Em Em Em Em Em D D D C
e--|---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--2--2--2--0---|--

And James plays his distorted solo.
You wonder where James' solo is ? Well, I don't know.
I couldn't figure it out (sorry).
At the end of the song, Kirk plays (clean again):
e---------0-----------0-----------0----7-7-----7p0-----------
B-------0---0-------0---0-------0---0------0-------0---------
G-----0-------0---0-------0---0--------------0-------0---0---

G--|°----------------------0-------0---0--------°|--
D--|°-------------------------------------------°|--
A--|---------------------------------------------|--
E--|---------------------0-----------0-----------|-- Repeat this and end on...

And that's it !! Hope you enjoyed it !! I did !!
