    Personally, I prefer the E-flat version, it makes it a little darker sounding. I included both keys, because on my Pianotarium CD, it's in E minor, but in this video (and most of my live shows), I perform it in E-flat minor. Metallica tends to do the same; they tune down one semitone for most their live shows (probably to help save James' voice on long concerts).

    It’s interesting how this song by Metallica was never a really big hit when it first appeared, but over the years it has now exceeded one billion views on YT! Truly amazing! It has also inspired lots of cover versions. This version is very enjoyable. I would also like to recommend two of my favourite covers. One by Mattrach on guitar which starts slowly, then builds up the tension before exploding in a 'heavy metal' finale. The other is by Frank Peterson's 'Gregorian'. It’s startingly different, but my favourite. Over 11million views on YT.

    I quit playing the piano when I was 14, after failing my first grade exam for the 3rd time. About 3 months after I quit, I saw this video and decided that I wanted to be like Scott. That was over 5 years ago. Today, after countless hours of practice, I uploaded my cover of Scott's arrangement of "Nothing Else Matters". It would make my entire life if he could see it and know how much he affected my life - I've been signed by an entertainment company now and am currently working on a song list

    1st off Scott Davis great performance. 2nd off to all you who are slamming his performance do not know or understand the creativity behind an arrangement for a song that is done by 5 other people the transpose it into one instrument and make everything come out. I'm a guitarist on lead and rhythm unless I write the music down no guitar solo is the same whether I'm in the studio or live What comes out is how the musician is feeling inside and bringing it alive in his/her own way.

    Just play slower and it will be perfect. Too many emotions for such song, playing slower will give it more power and weight and will make it less "fancy".

      I think he and others probably play it slow and fast. This is just his concert version. I’m sure both are good in their own ways.
