Orion By: Metallica Tabbed By: Kane Bochatyn (JenoUnion) This is Cliff's bassline for Orion tabbed out. Took me a few hours to do, and I realized that this is much different than what all the other tabs show (at least in the Verses). Well, enjoy. Any questions, comments, or concerns, contact me at DarkCloud1916@aol.com OR CryofthePlanet@hotmail.com. Link to the bass only is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVPCC6V3xRs. Please note that some of the minor changes at the ends of the main interlude riff are very subtle and hard to catch at times, but if you omit them it should still sound just fine.
