Orion

By: Metallica

Another classic from the Master of Puppets album. 1 of 4 Metallica instrumentals. This one is pretty famous for bass players, but there is an insane amount of memorable guitar licks in here to learn. I tried to find as much live footage as I could, but there’s not a whole lot out there.

It’s difficult to find video on Kirk playing the solos. I ended up referencing newer footage to help with positioning.

Focus on getting that low open E string in there at the start of the riff and each time it repeats.

Isolated TRACKS (mp3)

Here are the drums, bass and other background tracks to jam along to Orion. I've also included all of my isolated guitar tracks in case you really want to hear what's going on. Isolated tracks are normally very difficult to find online, and can be very helpful in cracking a difficult solo tab.
