sorry fo rthe doublepost. it didn't turn out irght, so I'm not gonna try to fix it cause it's really hard. it looks liek it should at this link: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/m/m ... rs_tab.htm

EDIT: Oh bye the way I found the song. it sounds so awesome... and hard to play ^_^;;; Well my friend better be thankful. if you wanna listen to it, go to soundclick.com. go too the search bar at the bottom and type in nothing else matters and change the search to "songs"

Gah...I wish I wasn't so confused by TAB. I like to read music and TAB just confused the heck out of me...Anyways...Nothing Else Matters is one of my favorite songs by Metallica.
