Tips And Comments:
- Playing Technique:
Played next to the neck pickup with high strength. Bridge pickup volume at 0
- Gear Sound:
All effects and processing are digital. For most of the parts i added a fuzz wah pedal with middle amount of fuzz, high compression and boosted mid frequencies. Also a little treble added. For distortion parts i added high frequency distortion into the mix
- About The Song:
I had to play the solo separately, mostly because i don't own a distortion pedal or some thing that allows me to change effects between part of the song, and i needed distortion for that solo in order to play it well

Whats the brand of your bass and which model
Can you please do a cover of "Big Machine", by Ryan Miller, from movie "Safety Not Guaranteed
let's all agree cliff was a beast
ojp _15 Metallics was never the same after he died
actually people die and fans should move on
Traveling Outdoorsman yeah, but if you left a mark in history, then you should be remembered. Like, say, Abraham Lincoln.
@Mexico City dude he wanted to say beast which is different than best
На русском языке я бы о ветил
>Bass solo
Nice
>Bass duet
*crying* Nice
stop crying baby
what grade do you think it is
Alasdair Round wdym
@@bach1500 from 0 to 10, what grade you give to the solo
JVMachado789987 Compared to my capabilities, a 10, but compared to some others I’ve seen before probably a 6
6:34 i always thought that was played by guitar... Holy shit
Karl-Johan Lagström He was that amazing yes.
Most people think that the 2 bass solos in this song are guitar solos
Cliff did wonders man.
So did I 😂🤦♀️
Lol so did I until a few years ago ! Amazing
Never been a big Metallica guy. Now I understand why Cliff Burton was so revered.
Welcome to the metallica family then
You wanna really hear what Cliff could do, listen to Anesthesia: Pulling Teeth from Kill'em All. He did that solo in one take dude.
@@marklastes312 I will check it out.
@@marklastes312 you nailed it. That song is a bass wet dream.
You are now a Metallica guy
God I wish Metallica still did instrumentals like this.
What about Suicide & Redemption? ;)
They almost did one with Inamorata, almost....
@@HerenBass glad they didn't,would have Been a bit empty without the lyrics
They did on Death Magnetic
@@corwin81they did suicide and redemption, in my opinion super underrated
This is Cliff's masterpiece. RIP legend
Riley Young he was genius indeed !!
Amir Nurikić yes, masterstrious indeed.
This and anesthesia pulling teeth, plus all his solos
@@butteredtank9471 Although impressive, Pulling Teeth didn´t have the sheer beauty of this piece.
@@headsetsquirrel2581 I never said it was better
Here are the timestamps for the big major sections so you can find the tabs for them.
0:58 - Main Riff
3:59 - Secondary Riff
6:36 - Bass Solo
7:02 - Third Riff
yeah nice but he plays the start wrong
drainmudvayne27 yeah we now know that
Not enough distortion, and it sounded too light.
but you missed my favourite part the break riff by Cliff 1:41
helpfull
1:40 i love that part so freaking much it's unbelievable
I also think this is the best part
5:40 - 6:17 is nothing short of spiritual to me. Cliff was such a creative genius. He truly elevated the bass to fine art in this song.
And that started with Anesthesia. Just WOW!
I totally agree.
@Cameron no shit it was wasted he died so early
@Cameron Try listening to spatial versions of Cliff Metallica and prepare for your mind to be blown. Cliff was superhuman.
@Cameron i think Metallica knew this to a degree and didn't want to make the same mistake twice. Did you see when Les Claypool tried out for Metallica after Cliff died? They literally told Les he wasn't hired because he was "too good"
We did “Orion” almost at the same day) It's interesting to compare our versions: on 22 and 24-fret basses. By the way, very accurate bass solo work! Pearl of the song \m/
Andriy Vasylenko your version was just as great, practically identical to Cliff's work. you're my favorite bassist on youtube bro!
you can compensate by playng the lower harmony
It took 3 years, but I'm the 420th like!
And we also have the same basses. (Not really same, I have Ibanez GSR 180)
So what's the difference? Am I missing something different between both versions?
6:35 is where I stop playing, grab my drink, and toast Cliff.
Takes some time buts it’s a relatively easy solo
@@butteredtank9471 Literally can't play it; none of my basses have that many frets. Might have to get use a whammy pedal, lmao
@@swissarmyknight4306 if you have 21 frets and some strong fingers you can bend up to the first note, or just play the solo a step down
Timestamps for Solo:
3:13 Kirk
6:17 James
6:36 Cliff (Playing a part written by Kirk for guitar actually)
7:00 Kirk
At 8:22 the song is over so you should edit your comment
@@Slashixuz thank you will do my dude
@@seanconnors1613 and it never happened lol
@@eliasjoserodriguez5160 but I DID edit it...
no, the bass solo was written by cliff
Finally someone plays the main riff correctly. Well done.
It is good but not "correct" as in the same way Cliff played it. There isn't any percussive tapping of the strings, needs to lower the action and slap those babies
jim my shit, please dont comment that thins and have fun!!
You are illiterate and cannot put a sentence together. Listen to Cliff play it. It is different from how this guy does it!
jim my so?
Andres Palma because it sounds different when you play in a recording studio room.
I was actually named after this song
Your parents are awesome for that.
+Orion West That's awesome!
+Orion West NICE!
That is fucking Awesome.
I'm named after Obi Wan from Star Wars, Well in the original he went by Ben Kenobi.
+Orion West Orion (Ωρίων/Ωρίωνας) is actually a Greek name, origins from the Ancient Greek Orion, who was a hunter (I think) in the Greek Mythology.
my bass teacher assigned this song as my first song with 16th notes and this is so helpful 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I hope people understand what makes this cover AMAZING. Not only is it played to perfection/imperfection, but to actually nail Cliff's tone by playing HARD enough at that speed is next level 🙏
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
sincerely

Former Royal Norwegian Navy, why
+Sailstone just noticed your profile picture. Your service is appreciated.
BRANDON FREEMAN Well, that's a first I must say. Thanks dude
Probably the first nice thing I ever read on CZcams in 8 years.
03:59 close your eyes and listen
Correction: 00:00 close your eyes and listen
yaaaaaaaaa
Nah! Close to 06:35
Rip cliff
Chills and tears of emotion
1:42 love this part
Me too, I wonder what pedal he used?, overdrive normal?
Triton sonidero it’s distortion and some overdrive, correct me if i’m wrong
Same
6:35 does it for me. I almost tear up when I hear that first note. Then 6:44 is when I lose it.
At around 2:15 when the solo ends, the muting between notes is brilliant. Just pairs so nicely with the drums, you really did this well. I believe Cliff would approve 👍
one of the most challenging parts of the song, even if it doesn’t seem at first sight
@@xShockWave97 learning the interlude is a lot harder lol
@@utu_be as a bassist myself I don’t agree with this statement
@@hat_kid6224 yeah,now me too,it's just I couldn't remember how the interlude went so I thought it was hard
@@xShockWave97fr bro it's so hard
Cliff would've been proud of you!
lol
Cliff Burton hahaha wtf
Yea .. i bet he is up there smiling seeing this one
Stijn Ubbink nooo, you changed your name :(
Kareem Magdi yes
amazing cover!

hhjgkngjgjcggvbjhgugfj
How do you play an electronic triangle, do you have distortion?
Lol, you made my day.
i salute you!
- maracas player
electric flute with distortion
I'm a simple man. I see a bass cover of a Cliff Burton bass line, I click. And that bass tone is beautiful! Damn son.
5:40 - Don't mind me. This is just for myself to listen to because this is awesome.
i have mastered 6:17 to 6:25
Good job now for the rest
Nobody fucking asked you
+Meme Lord69 If you don't care, don't be an ass and close your mouth.
Xavier Sánchez I was typing not talking dumbass
Well, stop typing, then, 'coz that was the best argument you could choose.
best cover i've seen on youtube, no mistakes!! haha, congrats!
+Alex Torres Thanks!
+CoverSolutions Yes excellent finger work.
FLAWLESS
CoverSolutions can you do "my name is mud" by primus
3:57 one of the best pieces of music in history.
I think that best song ever is En Livstid I Krig by Sabaton
just started Bass 2 weeks ago and my band told me to learn the entire song in a week. 💀
Haha 😂 It's all fun and games until the solo...
@@Leon.16the solo isn't the hardest part tbh but i can't play it i have a 20 fret bass
@@PremierJanvier-tx2qcThe solo is indeed the hardest part, also playing an octave lower should sound practically the same, so do that
@@brashfix thx for the advice
How did it go???
literal goosebumps from the riff at 5:40 to 6:17
I SWEAR there is no other person on this Earth that could play like Cliff did, that man is a genius!

Cliff was a musical genius. I can only imagine how different Metallica’s music would’ve been if he was still around
You ans Davie504 need to colab or have a bass battle! Love your work :)
that would be like a Meeting of Chuck Norris and Morgan Freeman... the Universe that we Know would be gone.
+MrBardoTube Argentino boludo
Hector Medina ???
+franco perrella jajaja si, estan pendejos
+Hector Medina Pues no los veo muy inteligentes a ustedes sólo insultando detrás de una pantalla, ten por seguro que si van a Argentina ni se atreverían a decirlo.
3:50 gotta love that slow beautiful riff
Did cliff really play that harmony in the recording wtf he’s a damn genius 😭😭
No cliff simply summoned another bass using his godly powers. He played both of them at the same time with his mind
This song is the reason I got a bass
Omg. I thought so many years that the bass solo in 6:36 was from guitar and I was playing my electric guitar with this solo in the backing tracks. And I was thought that it was for guitar. From this moment I will stop playing the solo with bass. Respect.
The fact that his death still affects so many of us, man. I wonder if that’s how fans of Nirvana felt after Kurt’s death. RIP 💗💗
Yeah you are right
Kurt Cobain was never that good, plus Nirvana wasn't even from Seattle, they were from Aberdeen which is west of Seattle. AIC was the best Seattle grunge band
@@briank8697 then there’s Brian on CZcams
Awesome job! I was a senor in high school when MOP came out and watching you play Cliff brought back the same emotions that I had first hearing it all those years ago (Yes. That's 35 years. Wow) Orion has always been the best song on a perfect album . Thank you. You made my day.
As a guitar player, I’m always paying attention to guitar in songs, but it opens up a great evolution to listen to the other instruments in a song we wanna learn
Thank you for putting up these videos, thanks to you now I can play this song.Keep up the great work. Greetings from Canada !
+Fred Pineau Thanks for watching!
+CoverSolutions Favorite Metallica song right here...and you just made it 100% better!!!🎸🎼
+CoverSolutions Do you play solely on that T24? What's your opinion of that bass compared to a similarly priced Squier or Fender Jazz?
+TheVersatileWalrus he uses it for everything. I'd say get this over a squire. But between this and a fender, just whichever you want really.
The Call Of Ktulu
I must've listened to your cover about 30 times this week. Absolutely stellar. I hope to get to play it as well as you someday.
Same
I picked up my bass after years of not playing and this will be the first song I’ll try to learn
I gotta give cliff an jason kudos each one of them brought Metallica to higher levels in music.
80s cliff was the glue also the bassist god lol.
90s Jason just killed everything he touched but in a good way an made that much better.
2000s to current Rob is just showing 100% he can roll with the legends and make them sound great.
**Me checking out the orion bass tab because everyone says its hard**
0:58 “Hey, this ain’t to bad maybe i can play it”
3:59 “Ok im starting to see the problem but hey with some practice”
6:37 *”WHAT THE FU-“*
So youre still playing bass or you gave up after this? Hehe
Came back to this after I first watched it religiously in 2014. Was amazed at how much better I felt playing it! Thanks for all your work throughout the years man. It's fun to play along to your songs
This guy plays Orion virtually flawlessly! Excellent work!!! 👍
This is probably my favorite metal song of all time. I'm glad Metallica doesn't take down cover videos like these, yet.
How could someone not like this song. Everything about it is a masterpiece. It is absolutely beautiful.
favorite metallica song. one of the best to end an early 2000s action thriller. or triple frontier
This song is one of my favorite and probably my ultimate goal in my journey of playing bass
Just picked a bass for the first time a week ago, this is my goal. Badass dude
Can’t think of a better cover of this on CZcams. Superbly done my friend.
Beautiful. It's absolutely perfect....
My bud who passed several years back would be proud of you. This and FADE TO BLACK were his favorites. The band he was in, and his dad, his dad hated metallica, why i don't why, but he learnt FADE and ORION for his son.
Was the most heartfelt and emotional performance I have ever experienced
he made the screen "fade to black"
wow... Just wow...
dude i literally just saw your comment on andriys video🤣
I love you now
Stfu
😂
It always an honor can play this song on bass, Cliff was a genius.
this is the most accurate cover I've ever seen and your tone is on point
ive been playing bass for a few months and you are my biggest inspiration, keep up the good work
Bajistas:
inicio: oh, 3 acordes, nada complicado, solo el segundo es un poco complicado, pero nada de que complicarme.
verso: ¡Genial! al parecer es una melodía simple de seguir, nada de que preocuparme
puente: oh.... esto se puso un poco mas complicado, debo de practicar un poco para hacer más condición en los dedos y poder tocar lo suficientemente rápida esta parte....
puente para el solo: genial, llegue a la parte que tanto esperaba, son arreglos sencillos y una melodia hermosa, solo esa ultima parte mas rápida puede llevarme un poco de trabajo, pero nada de que preocuparme:::::)
solo...: °se tira por la ventana (pero con cubrebocas porque respeta la cuarentena :)°
This is probably the funniest thing I've ever read
@@brodeyrhoades1422 can you read spanish?
Lol
That was awesome! Thanks.
The tab looks (and sounds) way more accurate than the old Bass-Songbook published back in the day.
Dude, your cover of this song is sick!! 🤘🤘
Most definitely on my bucket list!!
excellent version I listen to cliff only almost every day and might see a doctor about it and this was very very great best cover I've heard!!
RIP cliff Burton.. you still the best for Metallica
Gorgeous cover! Great skills... can't understand why someone dislike this.
This song changed my life.
Cliff changed my life.
Kick ass man, now we all know you do covers flawlessly I would love to see some original material that I'm sure you can do keep up the great work.
metallica anesthesia !!!!! pleasee :)
exactly
Yesss
Riva Sun yesssss
That would be great
1:42 My favorite part. So legendary. Good job bro!
There is so much more to this bass part than even the human ear can discern from the albums. Cliff threw so many details in there which probably get missed on the tablature sites and definitely on most covers.
Just found your channel while looking for vids about the Washburn T24 (just got one myself). Thanks for taking the time to make so many kick ass videos man.
Cliff is no doubt one of the best bassist ever. He went to soon.
Well, now I know for certain that 1/8 IS a real time signature.
Your channel is legit the best "bass" cover channel ever! You can use more guitar covers but youre a beast with da bass!
I don't know how many times I've watched this but it's freaking amazing and I wish I could donate to you
Anesthesia-Metallica
that bass solo around 6:50 is amazing
The middle section of this song always reminded me of some old Scandinavian folk tune. Just brilliant.
Magnificent playing! Truly inspirational
your right hand technique is practically identical to cliff's. respect. \m/
john smith Cliff used his pinkie more on his right hand, but yeah he is pretty spot on
I think what makes cliff such a technically phenomenal player more than anything was his stamina
Oh I feel like I haven’t listened to Metallica enough lately. I went through all of their OTHER instrumental songs before i remembered that bass riff/solo-ish thing that popped in my head was from THIS SONG. Thank you for doing this video! I will always be grateful that Metallica has had amazing bass players, but I’m even more grateful that they finally have more live recordings where you can really hear the bass parts now!! Anyone wanting some awesome riffs to play, I HIGHLY recommend the one that starts around the 04:00 or so. Awesome, and fairly easy to learn (going by speed) compared to the faster stuff usually played in most of their songs.
Believe it or not this is my first time listening to the bass in this song isolated in this fashion. Damn, that man was taken from this world too soon. This is immaculate.
Standing ovation. Your fingerpicking is great. I've been weening myself off of the pick. My damn fingertips feel like I took them to a belt sander.
Wish I could use a pick. It's a skill I've never learnt and a great one to have in the toolbox.
Day 1 of attempting to learn this song... wish me luck guys
How is it going? Did you make it?
@@kpts1059 I’ve learnt all except the solo at 6:35 !!I’m working on the speed of it which has taken me a surprising amount of time, but I’m super pumped to get it (hopefully) soon :)
@@sadiejade22 wow that's impressive to hear! Keep it up!👍
Is it goin now ?
Yo sick
Holy hell! This was really helpful in learning the bulk of the bass solo but then you just crank up to crazy at the end! Don't think I'm there yet but this has really inspired me to get better \m/
This cover is incredible. Somehow you even matched Cliff's monster tone.
You make it look so easy. Can you do "holy wars the punishment due" by Megadeth
4:06 moment of perfection
perfect excecution and tone ! amazing job mate !
I thought most of the solos and the Riffs were on a guitar and not a bass but in my surprise cliff was even better than I thought, what a legend
One by metallica!! If you did this, you'd be my hero.
What?.. No man.. One is easy.. He should have been you hero at 4:30
+Joe garza well, thats the easiest (and also my favourite) part.
Yeah, maybe he can actually write a bassline for One by Metallica.
@@foxmccloud9548 There is a bass line in one. Actually a very nice bass line. But they just turned it down. If you have good headphones and remixed it you could hear it. It compliments the song really well. But lars was a dickhead so
@@l.ronhoyabembe3557 Lars still is a dickhead !
Can you make Master Of Puppets please?
Excellent cover of this amazing bass work of a song!!!
4:00 the bass line during the interlude of this whole song is one of my favorites of all time.
I've literally been trying to play that damned solo since I heard of this song and it's driving me NUTS!!!!
HOW!?!?
EDIT:hell yeah, Ive been practicing and finally got most of it down
Can you play it now?
I promise you no ones a bass king - The only thing that seperates us is the amount of hours we practice. If you practiced as much as the pros do, you'd be just as good as them.
@@daveharris514 except Geedy Lee and Steve Harris haha
@@caio42631 No, even them, just since this lockdown started, my playing and speed has almost doubled, and its only been 6 weeks, those guys play and practice every day - Nah you'd probably be even better than Steve Harris👍🏻🙂
@@daveharris514 I agree with your sentiment, however Cliff Burton exists, so it's not 100% accurate
R.I.P cliff Burton. One of the best bass players of all time
definitely their best song! it’s just so beautiful but badass at the same time!!!!
