Nothing Else Matters — Easy Piano Notes for Beginners
98 people have learned this song
Learn "Nothing Else Matters" on piano with easy notes — perfect for absolute beginners. Large color-coded note names show exactly which keys to press. No music reading required. Key of G, 72 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with an Alberti bass pattern in your left hand — instead of holding block chords, you'll break them into a rolling bottom-middle-top-middle figure that gives the piece its gentle, swaying feel.
At 72 BPM you have plenty of time, so focus on keeping that left-hand pattern smooth and even across all six chords.
The trickiest transition will be moving into and out of B7: that chord shape sits differently under your fingers than the others, so isolate the bars around it and loop them slowly until the reach feels natural.
Practice hands separately at first — get the left-hand pattern almost automatic before adding the melody.
Once you combine hands, watch that your right-hand melody notes sing out above the bass; keep your left hand lighter.
If any transition feels rushed, drop the tempo until it doesn't.
This is the piece that will train your fingers to roll chords effortlessly, and that skill transfers to almost everything you'll play next.
