When I listen to this song I feel as though nothing else matters.

Favorite part <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="0">0:00</a> - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="368">6:08</a>

Makes you realize that this song is an absolute masterpiece. Unbelievable that you can write these kind off songs as a singer. Metallica is legend!

This is what my boyfriend plays, I fall asleep to it, I love it so much. It's so soothing

I bought his tab. It is so hard, took me 10 hours just to learn the first 2 bars of the verse. See you guys next year.

eargasim... im trying to learn this during lockdown due to COVID19 and its this is the single most impressive version ive heard 11/10

Whenever my uncle came over we would often sit by the fire and he would always play this on the guitar he brought with him he died of a seizure earlier this year, and i miss him so much. This brings back all the good memories with him, i'm sure he's still playing that tune wherever he is.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="180">3:00</a> chills down my spine and everywhere

I'm impressed. This song is played with a rhythm guitar and a lead guitar and somehow you managed to combine those two roles into one.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="290">4:50</a> - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="310">5:10</a> one of my favs parts

Who the hell disliked this? I melt every time I hear it...incredible!!

That's some high level microphone!

I'm a pianist and now hearing this I now want to learn guitar so badly.

Not going to lie, I was already impressed when you picked the vocals and melody. Then you did the solo. Mind. Blown.

I can almost hear the words coming out of his guitar

If this isn't played at my funeral I'm not going

I stumbled on this cover accidentally at a time when my anxiety and depression were beating me down and your talent helped me cope. Thank you.

I always like to wonder how a player as good as James would go down if he were sent back to renaissance times and played for a royal audience. 'Here we behold the master craftsman James Bartholomew with his candid interpretation of the Metallica - please my distinguished guests do enjoy.'

lyrics: So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know I never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us, something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never cared for things they say Never cared for games they play Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know And I know, yeah! So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are No, nothing else matters

Damn, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="290">4:50</a> solo part is just a bomb. Every single extracted sound has played so detailed and accurate, in perfect time with a perfect speed! That part is a cherry on a top of that cover! Thank you!

When I was Little one of my best memories with my dad was him teaching me how to play this.. He commited suicide when I was 10. This brought back so many memories, I'm crying In my room wishing I could see him one last time...

I love how compared to other fingerstyle players you actually play the song with no novelty type embellishments, just real straight, i think it elevates the guitar as a solo instrument

I'm a flutist and a pianist and I just bought my first guitar a few days ago and I'm going to make this song my goal before I go into the 9th grade in 2020, keep up the good work and I would love to hear more from you.

Found this song during a very hard time in my life. I just felt so numb like nothing else mattered. It was a sad hopeless numbness, this video specifically helped me a lot, it comforted me alot. I remember sitting at the terrace looking at the birds in the blue sky flying while playing this song in the background on loop. I love this song since. It's like that specific memory, those strong emotions I was feeling, the wind, the smell, every moment, so vividly is somehow trapped in this cover. It's insane. Whenever I come back to this video I feel that numbness all over again tho I am in a better place now, it just reminds me a lot of that time and the comfort I felt listening to this song. I grew to love this song and this cover.

You finally did it James. Turn out quite impressive. Smooth, clean and emotional playing. Loved it, man! :)

People actually disliking this are really ignorant when it comes to music. Man you are fantastic ! Beautifuly played. Thanks for that.

My dad used to play this for me to go to sleep when I was 5 onto 8 years old since I’ve always loved this song . ❤️

How the hell could someone be so flawless?..like i have tried this song 100+ times and haven't played it single time right

i don't know why....but i feel like i can hear this for hours....it just took me to another world.....very strange feeling.....Thank you so much brother[ i can't think of any other word to show my appreciation].

Thank you. You are now on my playlist. Beautifully played and appreciated.

There is only one word that can describe this. Beautiful......

I honestly have no idea how anyone could dislike this. It's simply awesome. In the true sense of the word. It inspires awe.

The simplicity of this song never ceases to amazes me. Pure unadulterated perfection.

I started playing guitar during lockdown. Been getting the chords down. Few solos. Feeling pretty good about my progress. Then stumble upon this…. WOW.

Both of the James have done a really awesome work

I've played guitar for 20 years man and this is just so flawless i'm in awe....It is so clean.. keep doing what you do!

Great song, amazing cover. The scratch on the strings between chord changes on the intro is pure chills, nice work.

As I stand hear with tears rolling down my face, This reminds me of a friend from what seems an eternity ago, playing his guitar so similar to this it's uncanny. This song reminds me of my lost friend. Thank you. It is perfect

Okay now im playing guitar since like a month and i just learned the Em chord. God its hard to learn fast and thats why im looking at videos where people play way way better than me. Im not giving up until i succeed playing like that its so smooth and calm

It’s videos like this that inspires people like me to want to go out and purchase a guitar and learn to play... This particular song - a timeless classic is such a cool song! Great video!! 👍🏻

No lie Was listenting to the same song when Notification bell rang This song has so many hidden feelings😍

Waiting for someone to do a cover like this! You exceeded my expectations! Amazing job!:)

This song makes everything feel okay.

This was just pure perfection, thank you!

The guitarist of Metallica and James hetfield if they haven't already but they would really enjoy this piece. You play this with such consistency and flow man holy man I'm impressed

Clean, perfect acoustic version ever

This couldn't have been any better... Absolutely amazing.

Anyone else think the sliding sound makes the cover so much better than it already is

The solo just blew me out! Too good man 👏👏👏

It is an absolute pleasure to play along with your version. Sounds like a perfect duett fingerstyle

This artist presents the wondrous nature of human artistry. On display, like no other creature on earth. Intellect. Soulfulness. Talent.

This was better than i imagined.. I’m extremely impressed! I love it

This guy is a magician of the guitar! Very impressive.

The best acoustic version ive heard..🤘🤘🤘

Beautiful! Metallica would be proud

That was really good, but why no harmonics at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="28">0:28</a>?

Makes me want to pick up my guitar again and actually put in some effort, thanks for posting, you've inspired me!

This was so beautiful! Excellent work.

the solo is the best and perfect thing i have ever heard.

Damn dude, that solo, you nailed it !

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="59">0:59</a> - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="69">1:09</a> just beautiful.

Never get tired of watching this. It's so good that it makes me cry 😭

I just realized that I must learn to play guitar. Absolutely incredible!

Thank You for sharing your gift with us!

Your playing shares joy - and the effortless movements of your fingers shares peace. Thank you for sharing.

So close, no matter an acoustic guitar. Couldn't be more accurate than that. Forever amazed when you 're playing like that. Having less frets doesn't matter.

Man you e insane. You've mastered the whole song in one guitar.Hands down. Bravo!

You've inspired me to play guitar, along with my love of music. I can only hope that I can one day be as good as you.

¡Gracias!

I’d like to thank you. I saw this video about 2 years ago and had a lot going on. I purchased a guitar and have been in the learning process since then. Thanks for inspiring me to be better.

Breathtaking.

The most beautiful, perfect and accurate rendition of nothing else matters on an acoustic guitar. A lot to learn from this video. I've been playing it wrong all this time. Would love to learn this master piece of a song.

This is so clean damn
