Nothing Else Matters is the most requested song I get as a guitar tutor since moving to Romania
I don’t even like the cover of it by one of my favorite musicians ever (that’s Phoebe Bridgers in the URL)
I don’t get this country at all
At.
All.
I’ve literally never gotten this request from someone outside of Romania in 11 years of teaching. It’d be funny if it weren’t sad. They don’t seem to like newer bands, regardless of age.
Are Metallica themselves telling people not to listen to new music? Is that their uhm… business plan? “Let’s tell them not to listen to other stuff. If they do, they might like it and ditch us”?
I’m so confused and so disappointed.
maybe it’s less about metallica and more that every student has already heard that song through a wall somewhere. those open arpeggios also sound like real guitar long before your hands can do much else, which is a hell of a hook for a beginner. what happens if you hand them something newer built on the same picking pattern?
