In these Nothing Else Matters guitar lesson videos you will learn to play Metallica's biggest power ballad note for note.
Appearing on their mega successful Black Album, Nothing Else Matters was a pretty big departure for this legendary metal band.
The fingerstyle guitar intro is an absolute classic. It has lots of tricky little techniques (hammer-ons, pull-offs, wide stretches and harmonics) within it. After the intro the verse section continues the fingerstyle playing with some really cool open position guitar work.
Overall, this Nothing Else Matters guitar lesson doesn't really go beyond the intermediate level technique wise, but it does display a large number of techniques.
Metallica also decided to change things up a bit with this one and have James Hetfield take the main guitar solo. The result is a blues based, highly melodic musical statement that is short but sweet with minimal technical challenges.
The first Nothing Else Matters guitar lesson video below demonstrates the intro and all of the clean guitar parts along with a few guitar fills.
Also in the first video lesson below is the instrumental clean guitar solo section of the song. Since this part is made up of quite a few guitar overdubs on the record, I have instead arranged it so it can be played on one guitar. There will be obvious parts that can't be played with just one guitar, but I think the arrangement is a good compromise to what is on the actual recording.
The second video is dedicated completely to the big guitar solo played by James Hetfield and the chords that are being played underneath it.
Hope you guys enjoy it! Carl..

He's taught the intro before Marty's finished explaining the first 4 notes.
James Ashelford so true
Bradley Eason both are good
Bradley Eason Because Carl doesn’t do beginner lessons.
Marty didn't show how to play this part 8:30...Carl is way better than Marty,imo.
I like both of them but when both of them have lessons of the same song I prefer Carl as he doesn't waste any time unlike Marty who usually chit chats throughout the video
Even after almost a year of playing this is very hard for me, I'm still a noob. My fingers hurt from sliding and weird positioning but I want to learn the song, so nothing else matters.
1scott921 We've all been there matey, keep practicing, you'll be better! see what ya did there haha
You got it down by now?
Same here. I have been playing for a little over a year now, and I simply cannot do bar chords. I don't know what it is, but no matter how hard I press my finger down on the fret that I am trying to bar, I get nothing but buzz from the strings that are being barred.
halo2000100 the intro doesnt have barre chords tho
Your problems are probably that you dont play every day, because else your fingers would get stronger, the skin thicker and not hurting anymore. If you want to learn guitar, play every day. At first the things you already know and if you nail that, start practising new stuff.
He is amazing for doing full lessons no one does it like him.
Volkswagenman3 read that as “He is amazing for doing full lessons no one likes him”. I wanna die
He’s simply the best teacher I’ve ever had.
@@luna_verde2794 haha me too
Powerful
No one else matters
What's up with this ad of guitar lesson that keeps popping up everytime I try to open videos of Carl??? They were talking about UA-cam guitar lessons are bad ! WTF??? This is all I need right here, Carl's lessons...:))
lol.. beginner over here thinking he could nail the intro... ill be back in a few months! :D
Teun Wich Im a beginner too, I started practicing since my first day and nailed everything including the Solo in a month perfectly
KillingTheFire highly doubt that
ItsAres Did the same, it's very much possible
You got this! It’ll take less time than you think!
so bro? xD
My dad died 6 years ago (when I was 7 years old). He loved Queen and he and my mom had their favourite song... this song. I really wanted to learn how to play guitar because when I will learn this song my mum will be proud of me that I learned this hard song. Now I'm here I learned it in 4 months and I'm proud of myself that I can play it. It was my first song on guitar so when you are a beginner and you really want to learn this song then don't give up. I never gave up on that and now I can play this. When you don't have that desire that you want to learn this then you will give up in the beginning. I'm 13 and I'm a girl, only girl in my class that plays guitar.
I had the same a months ago i wanted to learn master of puppets sinces i was a begginer they were 8 hard months but finaly i can play it in its entirety with boths solos and all
that was inspirational and also it was very rare for me to see girl plays guitar
I’m 28 and just lost my dad as well Kamari. This was his favorite song and thank you for giving me hope in learning it. I’m sorry for your loss
God bless you. I hope your life brings you nothing but happiness from here on. Your father is very proud of the child he raised!!
copium, GG + Shit on + Outplayed
I just want you to know i go to you every time i want to learn a song. You have the notes right, theres no click bait, i know im going to walk away with what i came for, without a doubt. Its nice to have you here i appreciate you bro
Totally me 2 i even have this channel recorded in my brain for any time i need to learn a song, he is just the best and as you said he hits every note like the exact notes of the songs normally other people on youtube they call themselves professionals but they miss or change the notes which i dont appreciate i like to play my songs while im hearing to it so it sounds exact.
Great job bro. The guys that are complaining about how fast you teach..well..guys..with all due respect..pause and rewind..the many great features of UA-cam.
@@mikegreen8378 i wholeheartedly believe that statement. Paitence and pride followed chivalry.
yah but sometimes he does play really fast
exactly
Lol yea and you can even slow it down
@@mikegreen8378 lol, you put it perfectly. patience is a virtue, and we are all privallaged to have such a platform that we do today
Thanks Carl! You taught me every Metallica song that I know and you also make everything so easy. You're for sure the best teacher on UA-cam and I just want to say thank you for the time you put into teaching us. I honestly don't know where I would go to learn songs if you weren't around.
Yea, hes got my vote for best on UA-cam.
I've been completely self taught with your videos for the last 2 years and I've become a significantly competent guitarist and am currently looking at joining/forming a band. I decided the least I can do for you is sign up for your Patreon and I am very happy to say I am your 100th Patron!
This is a song I've known the first four notes for for years now, and this is the day I chose to learn the whole thing.
I've been playing until I get a headache and my fingers are jelly, but I will pick it back up tomorrow and continue. This is a satisfying song to get through.
thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, you have helped millions of people learn their passion. the amount of songs you have on your channel and the way you teach so simply is truly legendary.
crazy clean tone, man
I always check out for YOUR lessons on metallica (hadnt try any other bands song) and Im glad I can always freaking trust in your accurate lessons before anyone else, thanks so much for this gift man!
i've learnt all my songs from you , you are the best teacher on whole youtube. and that too doing full songs for free . thanks alot man , if you were not there i may not be able to learn many things .
You’ve genuinely taught be how to play guitar and songs throughout the years, thank you
I absolutely love this lesson but I feel you go a bit fast when teaching and I find it a bit hard to catch up and understand. But other than that it was good
Sirlex FTW well the song is hard
Sirlex FTW idk if you're a beginner or not but if you are you should be trying to learn this song
Use the pause button.
@@tiles3458
yah you should not be attempting to learn this if you are a complete beginner. Go learn basic open chords, barre chords and get your fundamentals down pat first
When I started playing guitar with this guy I just put the speed to .75 when he was explaining. I learn a lot better from him then Marty
Best guitar lessons on youtube
Yes they are
I ve read d same 'phrase' under many tutorials, which is the true religion ? hix
Oh yes but I really just want to see him do the sharknado theme song as a lesson.......
Yup close to Marty's channel
Ymel Y bro speak English what the fuck
2021 and I am still learning it. Music is ageless and he is one of the best teachers.
Beautiful sound! I absolutely love this song on the guitar! I used to play it 20, or so, years ago, and needed a brush up on the skills. Just as I remembered. thanks! ❤❤❤
Hello from Belarus! Nobody in russian UA-cam teaches like you to play the guitar! First I've found these video lessons when I wanted to now how to play Simple man and I loved your explanations very much. Thank you! (sorry for mistakes, it's not google translate, it's my "perfect" English)
12:18 xD "Where gonna reach over to grab this D"
+Truer Fissighost LMAO I LAUGHED AT THAT TOO
Truer Fissighost oA
are you 12?
Clyine are you not able to interpret a joke?
that was funny admit it :D
Carl you a truly a man with heart. You have inspired me to keep playing guitar. You are by far the best teacher on CensorTube.
Just another guitarist expressing how thankful he is for your videos. They help so much! Thank you!
Damn Carl, keep wrecking it man! Changing lives one amazing free lesson at a time!
Carl your such a humble nice guy, and smoking guitarist, good on you for doing your hobby for work
Thanks Carl for the effort you put into this channel and the lessons you provide. I have to admit I'm no Hendrix or Page by any means, matter of fact I have trouble telling a G from a C while listening to other people playing. That being said I stated playing back in middle School 7th grade and played for several years until sports and girls took over priorities and I ended up laying it down for good, and now 20years later here I am relieved that I've found this channel, your way of explaining the note and how to set up for the next makes things easier for me to try catching up for the years of experience I unfortunately lost. Thanks to you my 8 year old daughter (that I'm actually starting to teach) thinks I'm a lot better than I actually am lol.
Keep up the good work and I truly appreciate your time and effort in helping myself and countless others learn this beautiful instrument.
I always revisit the songs that i already learned to get a different perspective from other teacher and it helps with the improvement
im a beginner, but so far im getting the hang of this. Im trying to play the guitar to distract myself sometimes, and its one of my favorite songs too. Wish me luck!
Israel R did you finishing learning it?
Dis you learn it? How long did it take? 😊
Thanks mate for the amazing lesson. You have helped me master some of my all time fav metallica songs. Nothing else matters was one of the top songs on my list when I first started playing the guitar. One more song checked off my list :D
I've been playing guitar for 37years. Thanks for helping people..
That's awesome.
Man if anyone says your less that awesome remember there are a ton of us who would be lost without you. You are a great person.
Great lesson man! Not dumbed down - ie, explained the right amount for people with enough experience to attempt this song. I hate the tutorials where how to play a G chord is explained for a song that is intermediate (ie, someone who can play it should know what a G chord is!)
R.I.P short finger player :D
+Ika Ris Yep.
+AwesomeGaming57 Like me.
+Ika Ris my fingers are shortish and i can play it. it comes down to stretching them. mine are naturaly flexible but im sure if you look for some exercises you will find it easy with some practice
mine are short too I'm 11
yup, my fingers are short and fat rip
Thank you so much for this detailed AND patient lesson. I need to see every single note to be able to follow. Just started to learn guitar a few months ago. Being able in future to play this song is my motivation even to start.
Working through this very slowly. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, it's an awesome lesson!
like I don't know what it is with people posting a vid on how to play a song wrong. But this guy, bruh this guy here plays stuff right.
Actually he doesn't. But it's good enough for a beginner's lesson
Exactly he always does
@@Helame11 he is the only one who doesnt miss a note if you can do it better i bet u to post a video.
this is amazing and my dads getting me an electric guitar for doing great on the classic guitar
actually ita better to learn with the classic first then the electric or ull be a loser on the guitar
+Rayene Boussetta No most people start on acoustic, cheaper, and harder to play so electric is a breeze when you pick it up. It's what I did
Rayene Boussetta hello there,i just wanna know if should switch to elecrtic now,i can play almost all of sweet child o mine expect for the solo (iam still practing it)and i have some good simple power chord songs down and i just finshed playing the intro to this,and another thing is that my acoustic has this big hole on the side of the body,so pls help
Rayene Boussetta thank you good sir so should i get like a ibanez or a gibson
Rayene Boussetta thanks man really helped
Thank you for this .This song is in my top 5 all time favs since they brought it out
Yessss!!! You are back!!
What a fucking treasure trove I stumbled into!
Thank you so much for uploading all this quality material, man.
It truly means a lot to me, you explained the final parts of my favourite song in a way that a beginner like myself could quite easily comprehend and then include with some others tutorial on this particular song i've found so that I can now play the entire thing in a way that I find both true to the original, but also challenging a bit beyond the original so that a freshman can play around with various aspects of the song and learn the basics. : )
You're fucking amazing!
I coulden't help but notice that there's however still a bunch of nimrods down here whining & complaining, bitching like a bunch of immature 8 year olds.
I seriously cannot comprehend how anyone can complain about any of this...
You took both time & energy to record this, upload it and a bunch of other material for free on UA-cam.
That to me, is true love!
Providing for others to receive the tools they need in order to get started with guitar, or improve their existing knowledge of the instrument.
THAT is mother fucking caring. : )
Keep doing your thing man, we need more people like you in quote "modern" society.
Cheers from Scandinavia
Agree man totally
11:15 is when he starts the verse if anyone else was curious
Superb!!! Love this tutorial..Never thought I'd be able to play it but I've actually managed to do , and it's sounding pretty decent..Thanks Carl
You are such a great teacher!!! im a begginer and this is the first song im learning and i already learned the intro in just a few hours. 😆
This man has taught me more than my guitar teacher ever has
When you said "hey guys it's Carl brown" you literally looked like you forgot the camera was there, you jumped a little bit too hahaha
Very nicely done man, you have definite teaching skills! It helped me to figure out some tough loops! Thanks! Keep doing what you do.
That echo effect makes the guitar sound so much better and clear in the intro.
I’m swimming in reverb lmao, Thank you a lot though, really helped! Keep up the good work!
plz do "still loving you" by the scorpions
Awesome lesson, you've been of tremendous help. I also learnt Pink Floyd's Is There Anybody Out There, thanks to you.
Playing for 52 years, done it all ( His lessons i can still appreciate them, new-be 's never stop playing and tech yourself One day
NEED TO KNOW THE NAME OF THAT GUITAR... IT LOOKS AMAZING
After learning this song for a while, I can say that the hardest part is the intro.
CARL YOU BEEN TEACHING ME FOR YEARS I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO YOU. hope you read this.
thank you for this video. i love lessons like this. breaks it down easy to understand easy to see.... i appreciate this will check more of your vids for lessons once i feel comfortable with this.
Good job but try to explain more and I love ur guitar
works on acoustic right? i just love how you teach! wish you took request!
yes it works .... goooooood !
It works in all kind/type of guitars ...
Seven the solo is great for. Acoustic
Really explicit and musically faithful to the songs!! Keep continue!!
You are amazing man, thanks for the lesson
5:03
Just marking the second part
yayy Hungarian gang😋
I just tried to play the intro and believe me guys my fingers are paining.
I am a beginner and have always wanted to play this.
I decided to tackle it as my first full song learned even though I knew it was above my level. I wanted to push myself. And, with your help, I have tackled it!
Learning this has made the easier things I am learning as a beginner so much easier. Thanks for the great tutorial. I am rocking a favorite by a favorite #Metallica
The things that make this hard for beginners are barre chords(harder on Acoustic). When you started learning this, are you already good at barre chords?
@@ojsojs6004 I was literally still learning Barre Chords when I started to tackle it. I now have zero problems with them. I play at least two hours a day but usually more in the 4-5 hour a day range. I do so every day so like anything else in life, you get back what you put into it.
You are da man.
Everything well explained and well played. Makes learning easier.
Just subscribed !!! Cheers from Australia, Ray.
Anyone else here, has played guitar for years and still think "WHAT KIND OF DIABOLICAL MASTERMIND WOULD TAB 2ND AND 3RD FRETS WHILST PLAYING ON THE 5TH FRET! X'DDDDDD
I can do it, but holy hell the first few attempts my hands were screaming at me
I'm playing on a nylon string
Dude....you are awesome. Learned so many songs from you.
So awesome! I’ve been looking for something just like this to learn from. Thanks a million! Great instruction!
Slow it down a little bit
learn E minor scale all the way across a guitar, and you'll learn this easier
some of us cant read music, so thats not really an option
Then learn to read music?
Jacob C well, if we learnt how to read music we wouldnt need this turtorial, since i would just read it.
There's no need to learn to read music if you want to play scales.Just learn where the notes are on your instrument and consider that in E minor you need an F#. You can learn each and every scale if just know where the notes are, and indeed every musician should do that.
I’m having trouble at 4:23, I can’t seem to have sound after I hammer 8
Your neck on your guitar may have to be straightened, it may be warped, it should be a very easy fix, straightening the rod and using a humidifier are the way you should go, a warped neck may cause your guitar to have low contact points.
I've been playing for coming up to 6 years now and I've always just learned songs and tried to cover them. I rarely practiced any technique over the years and I just stared with the Synyster Gates Guitar School. I've learned a lot of theory in the last two weeks and I just stared learning this song about 30 minutes ago and I already got all the notes down, just need to work on tempo and playing it a bit more clean. Ngl a few weeks ago I never thought I could play this into. Ever.
One of best lessons on youtube
Wow u are awesome. Love you videos. Ru using a pedal? Or a different amp or something? Please respond
Jaden Lujan I use a Fractal Audio Axe-FX II for all of my lesson videos. :)
GuitarLessons365Song I think it was a little too much, Metallica doesn't sound this phased
Uras Gungor I agree, but I like it this phased. It gives an eerie feel to a dark song. A lot like Iron Maiden's "Children of the Damned".
+GuitarLessons365Song hi Carl, did you put some chorus and delay or echo for thisone?
+Antonio Volf i think he put delay! but personally i like it more with a little bit of chorus and a reverb
I cant fingerstyle for f sake
Edit* It all comes to practice,and you master it :) !
I know how you feel
Well actually now I can hah...thins change with practice I guess
+OmggeTsoo So in just 20 days u mastered Fingerstyle-_-
ChaRudatTa MuNdE Pretty much,even earlier..But yeah, I guess I'm talented..since I'm 50 times better than I was half a year ago now..Just practice and all is okay
Love your lessons and song choices!
14:32
This is for me to come back to while I work on what I’ve learned.
Guys, don't try to learn guitar when you're trying to quit smoking, nits do stressful...
if you pull my fingers with a plane and fly over the US, my fingers will still not be able to stretch over the frets like that
literally same
Cotty Do some finger stretching exercises There’s loads of them and they actually do work 👍🏻🇮🇪
👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏾 Thank you Carl for another great , detailed lesson AGAIN!!
SPOT ON!! Awesome AWESOME Thank you
i've never used fingerpicking, so i'm sweating learning this song, any advice to improve my fingerpicking technique?
luckyxever just take it real easy to begin with man. I mostly just cover fingerstyle songs so using a pick is kinda alien to me but I'm getting there and so will you. You'll never really use your pinky. try to use your thumb for the 6th 5th and 4th strings, your index for the 3rd. middle for 2nd and ring finger for the 1st string and it makes things a lot easier. You don't need to stick to it for everything but for most standard patterns it works.
luckyxever also. Use only down strokes with the thumb and up strokes with the fingers for this song. Best of luck friend. I'm sure you'll nail the technique in no time!
jordan smith thanks, in about a month i learned to play this song :)
hey bro, i'ts better if you use you pinky and train it, always the harder way is better for you. also, you can always use your pick using your thumb and index fingers
luckyxever learn the stairway to heaven intro, easy one to start fingerpicking off with
Anyone here after Marty didn't teach the full song????
Best guitar tutor on youtube
Thank you man
you make it look so easy.
a tab ?
Which guitar is this
i think its one of the sterling by musicman john petrucci models
his....
Schecter Hellraiser
Honestly...incredible. Thank you.
Brilliant.. easy to follow. Just what I needed to continue learning. Thanks !
I have to learn this song but my hand dies xD rip tiny fingers
Ems Banana
may i help😉😉
hail hydra
Hail hydra
amazing as well the best guitar lesson. one of my best channel
thank you so much for taking the time to make videos like this (I know It can be frustating but you sstill doing It either way and that's good) thank you, thank you:D
Is anyone here in 2024
Cant we do it with a pick i don't know how to play with fingers.
BlazerBlaze Arin You probably could just use a pick but give fingerpicking a try. it opens up a world of opportunities. Use your thumb for 6th 5th and 4th strings. index for 3rd. middle for 2nd and ring finger for 1st. Use only down strokes with the thumb and up strokes with the fingers. Give it a try and see how it goes man. You can play some real funky shit when you learn fingerstyle.
jordan smith
o
Try to learn Stairway to Heaven, it's great for beginner fingerpicking.
Thanks a lot... Unfortunatly a lot of people around the world cant afford lessons. In a time that everything in this world is money, You help people to learn something they love for free and you have to be proud. Congratulations my friend.
With love from Spain man;) thank you for everything
You're the best on youtube brother thanks for all your lessons and time. God bless
excellent guitarist and very indepth lesson , thankyou for sharing this...
I have got it thanks to you man, so happy :), thank you.
You Job in this channel is great !!!
