Nothing Else Matters - Lead & Rhythm Cover

This was the song that first made me want to pick up a guitar so here is my take on it. The intro went a little pear-shaped as I went charging away from the beat but I think I managed to pull it back in time ;-)

I originally intended to switch a little distortion on for the solo (look carefully you'll see me step and miss it!), but in the end I liked the way it came out - I hope you do too.

[swissisgeil]

are you playing on an acoustic amp with your les paul ?!

[firecatuk]

@swissisgeil Yes, that was all I had at the time. I've got a Blackstar rig now that I've used in several newer videos.

[jacktheguitarman]

u should use distotion on the solo tho

[firecatuk]

Yeah, check the description :) Sometimes it's fun to leave the mistakes in, I think it makes the videos more real.
