Per-Olov Kindgren: Metallica: Nothing else matters

Here’s classical guitarist Per-Olov Kindgren performing the Metallica song “Nothing Else Matters.”

Well what matters is, of all the songs Per-Olov Kindgren could have performed (and did), this is one that got a ton of views….  Why?

Well, it’s popular for one thing and Per-Olov Kindgren is an excellent guitarist. And if you think this video got a lot of views (over a million), his Stairway to Heaven is triple the amount.

So what have we learned today?

Practice your whole life playing difficult classical pieces, then throw up some popular rock/pop songs and become a hit on YouTube!

Well, you got to wonder if that’s what Per-Olov Kindgren had in mind?
