Stuart Clayton Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hi all, I've finally gotten around to recording a new solo bass video - my solo bass arrangement of the Metallica classic 'Nothing Else Matters'. You can check it out on YouTube here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sHvUv_w18I"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sHvUv_w18I[/url] As some of you might know, I originally intended this piece to be part of my 'Solo Arrangements for Electric Bass' book, but copyright restrictions prevented this from happening. It's an arrangement that I am still very proud of however, and I'm pleased to have finally recorded a performance of it on video. The good news is that the sheet music and an MP3 are available for FREE on my publishing site, www.basslinepublishing.com, so if you want to have a crack at it yourselves, you can. Hope you enjoy it!

xgsjx Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'm gonaa have a look at this when I get home as it's one of my fave songs to play on guitar. I've never tried it on bass. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Great work Stu, not sure how well I'm gonna manage it on a Precision with very heavy faults but I'm gonna take a look anyway! Sorry you couldn't get around the legal issues, but it's great of you to make it available for free Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Wow. That is a great arrangement and some superb playing...! I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but it blew me away. Puts my chops to shame ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Not a style of playing I like, Stuart, but this very well executed and a well paced and musical arrangement. Very creditable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnozzalee Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 The ONLY Metallica song I like, I have all the CDs and I can't bear to listen to them lol. Yours were the first Bass Books I ever bought and learnt from so always interested to see your vids! I thoroughly enjoyed this but the Simpsons theme tune is still my fave . I just really love the warmer woody GB tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll practice up another one! Cheers Stuart[/quote] I printed the transcription on Thursday evening and have spent a lot of the weekend trying to get my fingers to do some extraordinary things. Haven't had this much fun playing electric bass for a while! Stuart, thanks again for posting this link; I love your performance and the arrangement and I'm determined to master at least a substantial percentage of it. Having laughingly tried it on the '65 with La Bella '54s, I'm sending you the bill for the new bass I'm going to need C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacqueslemac Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 SHowed this to the singer in my band last night. His first reaction was "why is he showing me this?", but when you get properly underway his jaw hit the floor. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
