By Metallica. By James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. Arranged by Pablo Alcázar. Film/TV,Rock,Singer/Songwriter,Wedding. Individual part. 7 pages. Pablo Alcázar #1093939. Published by Pablo Alcázar (A0.1519885).This arrangement of Nothing else matters (for solo guitar) fits perfectly on Classical (spanish) and acoustic guitars because every chord sounds fully along with the melody and the bass is giving a nice feeling of the rhythm and harmonies. It's made for solo guitar and it's appropiate for begginers that look for a nice challenge or intermediate guitarist that want something fresh and new to play. Also is a very good arrangement for professional players that need repertoire for events.
"Nothing Else Matters" was a bold move for Metallica because it was a ballad—a genre far removed from the fast, aggressive thrash metal that defined their earlier work. Some fans were initially shocked or disappointed by its softer tone, but the song became a huge success, broadening Metallica's audience and solidifying their place in mainstream music.
The song has been covered by numerous artists across various genres, ranging from classical musicians to pop artists. Even mainstream stars like Shakira have performed their own renditions. This shows the song’s broad appeal beyond the typical metal fanbase
"Nothing Else Matters" has been featured in various movies, TV shows, and commercials, including the film Jungle Cruise (2021), where a re-imagined version of the song was performed by composer James Newton Howard. Its use in different forms of media has solidified the song's place not just in rock, but in broader popular culture.
This blend of emotional vulnerability, musical complexity, and boldness to step outside their usual genre is why "Nothing Else Matters" remains one of Metallica’s most beloved and enduring songs.

I just got this sheet music and have to say that is probably the best version of Nothing else matters for guitar that I've listened and played.
