Nothing Else Matters - solo piano, Scott D. Davis

[@ScottDDavisMusic]

Personally, I prefer the E-flat version, it makes it a little darker sounding. I included both keys, because on my Pianotarium CD, it's in E minor, but in this video (and most of my live shows), I perform it in E-flat minor. Metallica tends to do the same; they tune down one semitone for most their live shows (probably to help save James' voice on long concerts).

[@pommom-cm1ej]

I noticed that right away comparing to your pandora version.

[@allahuakbar7717]

I don’t know shit about music other than if it sounds good it’s good. This song is beautiful and you did an excellent job on this instrumental of the song.

[@prestonphelps1649]

Fantastic!

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

Awesome job, Scott! I've heard this song thousands of times on a solid 20+ different instruments, and the piano ones often do the best job of capturing the emotion of the song - your cover was certainly no exception to that trend. I enjoyed this very much. 🤩👍

[@skydreamer1038]

I prefer the E flat version

[@isabellamirza6167]

I love this. Everything about it is perfect. The way he plays it, the timing, the cover is PERFECTION

[@benedettasegato1238]

Still listening to this after years. It gets me every time. So powerful, intense and emotional. I always get chills all over my body. Best piano piece and musician of course! ✨🌹🎶😍

[@MegaGibsonian]

Dude with the camera, chill.

[@plsdetox8820]

years have passed and I'm still here enjoying this genius who chooses the best songs and plays so wonderfully well

[@shigshug8581]

I still listen to this cover 16 years later....

[@1313CHORIZOMAN]

I have been listening to several other piano covers of this song for years and have attempted my own version and this is by far the best cover out there period.

[@Alexsandr2468]

Поверте есть куда лучше версия на пианино этой композиции, и она есть на ютюб kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep6vYmWEh6pnnrMsi=Kdtq6rtlBmQkygHW

Egypt walker Great! In Hindu belief ,we believe that what baby's mom hear and learn during pregnancy has far reaching effect on how babies will turn out to be. Good thing, you heard this while you were pregnant.

[@brittanythomason3207]

This is my number 1 favorite song, played on my number 1 favorite instrument, from a metal song to classical almost this is the most amazing piece of music I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. .. i could listen to it over and over and over and over again. Especially reading books when i was a teen . Love love love love love it ❤️❤️❤️

[@nicklas4379]

The best piano version of this song i've ever heard. Actually one of the best piano peaces at all.

[@jbevan4411]

Check out Godsmack's version. Just mind blowing

[@Lennart.R.LK.Bonsai]

@@jbevan4411 thanks mate, totally forgot about that.

[@MayaRaimondo]

After all these years, I still love your version best, Scott! 😌🎹🤘🏼

[@telsurrey1]

It’s interesting how this song by Metallica was never a really big hit when it first appeared, but over the years it has now exceeded one billion views on YT! Truly amazing! It has also inspired lots of cover versions. This version is very enjoyable. I would also like to recommend two of my favourite covers. One by Mattrach on guitar which starts slowly, then builds up the tension before exploding in a 'heavy metal' finale. The other is by Frank Peterson's 'Gregorian'. It’s startingly different, but my favourite. Over 11million views on YT.

And during his play he cleans the piano from dust with his hair. GREAT:)

when i have been stress i always turn on this music then close my eyes.then i can relax and have courage to face the matters.thanks to Scott D,Davis

[@Dragonlord1660]

I used to play this to my baby boy JEsse James. The only thing that would put him to bed. No that he's gone I listen over and over just so he can still hear it. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@mrbulldog717]

I enjoy watching the passion that you display while you deliver your talent. We should all be so passionate about something. Right on pure and raw talent!!!!!

[@ZakhariDarksorrow]

From something which is seen by many (wrong people) as being an "extreme metal" song to something which can be appreciated by everyone in its full glory and awesomeness. Just brilliant. Well captured and beautifully performed. Metallica are one of the greatest bands which ever lived and probably the greatest band which are still alive today!

[@hagansa]

The greatest band which are still alive today. Claro que sí, campeón.

[@Misturadohh]

Uma música que fica linda tocada em qualquer instrumento. Essa música é uma obra de arte incomparável.

[@COVERSbyCallan]

I quit playing the piano when I was 14, after failing my first grade exam for the 3rd time. About 3 months after I quit, I saw this video and decided that I wanted to be like Scott. That was over 5 years ago. Today, after countless hours of practice, I uploaded my cover of Scott's arrangement of "Nothing Else Matters". It would make my entire life if he could see it and know how much he affected my life - I've been signed by an entertainment company now and am currently working on a song list

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

I tried to check out your version, but you have no videos posted. You delete it? Post it elsewhere?

[@92Keys]

Excellent vid! Really liked this music. Subscribed!

[@sheilaschunck]

Maravilhoso!!!

[@fvids1603]

You’ve turned that song into a beautiful piece of art. So good so nice to listen to . Thank you

[@chiquititans]

This song was already a beautiful piece of art. Scott’s version is its another beautiful interpretation :)

[@carsmedic]

1st mistake-0:29 (wrong note) , 2nd mistake- 2:35 (played the same high note as 2:36, it should be a lower note) Am i right, Scott? :) other than that...PERFECTION! The improvisation is out of this world...loved it! Thanks for sharing!

[@anamariaruxandraalexandres8806]

To all the haters here. I would like to see how many of you can actually play the piano. And if you are even better than this amazing guy here, then congratulations, you win the fucking internet. Nobody is born playing the piano, so shut ya faces. This guys is sensitive and he plays beautifully, no matter how many Beethovens are watching this video.

[@JoaoMSilva-db5zo]

Well said

[@MEIYOSI]

I agree

[@DenSvartaStjarnan]

You don't have to be able to play piano to criticize a piano player.

[@malino24-souls]

+Alexandrescu Maria true words... i can play piano, imo i play well... and i dont even criticize mistakes of him... maybe because i am so angry to not be such flexible such like some players (e.g. jarrod radnich) who can jump on piano and always hit the right key, lmao... but anyway, if not a 'real' player criticize, nobody should, i agree to u :)

It's probably a rhythm thing to keep yourself in line with the pacing of the song

[@user-baev]

Just play slower and it will be perfect. Too many emotions for such song, playing slower will give it more power and weight and will make it less "fancy".

[@GeoJesse]

I think he and others probably play it slow and fast. This is just his concert version. I’m sure both are good in their own ways.

[@Magikalgal1]

@ Scott D. Davis, I just want to say that I still return to this video every couple of days and weeks because I love this!! Always have!! I think I was the first to ask for sheet music and you came through. Cheers buddy! I love when live performances have errors in them. To me these errors are the true key to an excellent performer. Firstly you know it’s not prerecorded (I somehow don’t see how it’s possible with a piano. Lol!) and secondly, a true performer knows that continuing resolves the piece. After several years of the sheet music I still can’t get my head around 😂😂, so change it here and there for shits and giggles! Well done sir👍👍
