For Making this video possible
Year: 1992
Album: Metallica (or the Black Album)
Bassist: Jason Newsted
Genre: Heavy Metal
** First off, this tab gave me a lot of grief. If you have any issues with how I tabbed it out, see below for details. Secondly, I cut the intro and outro since the bass doesn't play there at all. I sat through it all in case you want to see me sitting, but I figured it'd be much easier for you all to have just the parts where the bass plays this time.
I got this one as a request. It's not the most exciting song, but you have to pay close attention to the details so it sounds good. That requires some skill in it of itsself. The song comes off of the Black Album, and so the bassist is Jason. Jason uses a pick, but since it is such a delicate song, I wanted to find videos of Jason playing it to see if he does use the pick or not.
So, I dove many hours into trying to determine whether or not Jason plays 3-2-0 or 3-0 for the riff. I went with what I heard, but these resources below show you what helped me.
• Video
1:05:56 shows Jason playing 3-0, not 3-2-0
• Metallica - Nothing El...
1:28 shows Jason only playing the 3-0 not the 3-2-0
1:57 shows the same thing.
4:20 shows the same thing.
www.guitarinstructor.com/prod...
This published tab shows the same thing
NOTE: In the Hal Leonard tab, (more official) It has the bass playing the 3-2-0.
• Metallica - Nothing El...
In this video you can hear jason do what he did in that video above this one
• Metallica - Nothing El...
• Metallica - Nothing El...
in Both of these you can't see Jason play it, buy you can hear him play the 3-2-0. His solo is cool tho
• Metallica & San Franci...
• Metallica - Nothing El...
These show Rob playing the 3-2-0 in a couple spots. He also embellishes quite a bit in his playing
• Metallica - Nothing El...
3:16 you see Jason using a pick. It definitely sounded like a pick and his arm movements at other times looked like it too.
• Metallica - Nothing El...
1:26 you can see Jason using a pick
I found this isolated bass track of the song:

[@steves1015]

Nicely done! I think this is one of the few channels I've seen where the bass tab is actually in time with the playing!

[@Fluxikator]

Thanks for the covers. In my opinion youre one of the KZbinrs with the best tabs available on KZbin. (Including readability) I really enjoy learning baseline with your videos.

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

Thank you so much for your comment! Readability is very important to me. In college, one of the classes I took for fun was arranging. In the class I arranged music for the marching band and then they would play it. I got to learn a whole lot about band instruments, but also how if it’s hard to read something, it’s easier to mess up. We learnt a lot of little tricks to make music easier to read, and I’m glad that class paid off :)

[@michaeldegnovivo5916]

Bro, huge fan because you definitely have the tabs down as close to or spot on! This is a big help to many! Thanks and keep it up! Beautiful bass, BTW.

Hi man, very nice video! Thank you very much for the teaching 🙏 I was wondering, as I am a very novice of bass playing. Is there a reason why we should go to the 8th fret of the E string, instead of the 3rd feet of the A string? I feel like it more confortable as the hand is already going in that direction. But since you do it, I guess there is maybe a good reason, ha ha. Is there any advantage then?
