Orion By: Metallica Solo Tabbed By: Kane Bochatyn (JenoUnion) So, decided to tab this amazing bass solo of Cliff's from the song Orion. Maybe I'll submit a full song tab soon when I have time. It seems that the verses are way different than everyone thinks, and the interlude changes a lot. Well anyway, here's the bass solo, starting around 6:35 of the master track. Any questions, comments, or concerns you can contact me at CryofthePlanet@hotmail.com OR DarkCloud1916@aol.com. ============================================================================= Orion Bass Solo G|-22b-21~------------21----21----------------| ===| Two bass tones played: D|-----------19-19-19----17----16-17-19-------| | This is the prominent one, A|----------|--------|------------------------| | the other one played all E|----------|--------|------------------------| ===| notes one string lower.
