The Puppet Master The child would tilt her head ever so slightly, almost as if a string had come loose to let her head fall to the side a little, only to be picked back up almost immediately after. Though she appeared a normal child, something did not seem. Right about her. She shook her head slightly, the creepy toothy smile and her glazed eyes never leaving her face.
Hey, friends! The exciting moment for TOTAL CLIFF has come. it’s time to review “Orion” – bass apogee of Cliff Burton’s art, probably Metallica’s too. Accurate GP5 bass tab for “Orion” you can download for free below.
“7” is here not by accident: it’s a number of “Orion” in “Master of Puppets” track list, plus – for luck. So I decided do not drag out, and made this review seventh.
Previous article about “Motorbreath” was short. This one is going to be longer and more profound, because there’s a lot to say about “Orion”. Bass line is saturated here, so I had a stuff to sweat working on. Let’s break it down step by step along the composition.

Intro
“Orion” the intro was recorded in fancy way: Cliff overlaid a number of bass tracks with different sound effects, and Fleming Rasmussen reversed that (we met similar stuff in “Damage Inc.” intro). That’s why “Orion” intro sounds so clear in “Master of Puppets” mix.

Robert Trujillo simplified it for live performances by using power chords, because 6th and 3rd scale steps sound a bit dirty with distortion.
Main riff
Guitars go on foreground, bass don’t lead here. Simple part, but full of improvised deviations, gallop and hammer-on fills. Cliff had a great technique and leading bass mindset, but here he did wise decision: be on background, remaining a room for guitars. Because of that moves the songs is breathing. Chords are the same as in the intro: Em-(Em)-D-B.
First break riff
My favorite riff in Cliff Burton’s bass stuff. Warm overdrive makes it sound synthy, but it’s too much deep in a mix. By the way, this riff I used to improve fast two-finger playing and apoyando. I’m going to break it down detailed in one of the last Total Cliff videos with working title “Hardest / Best Bass Riffs”.
Final sections of part A
Bass goes lower, guitars swoop leading again. The first riff is a variation of break one, after that it returns to main riff, and then part A slips to interlude. Nothing more, just watch “Orion” GP5 bass tab. By the way, it doesn’t matter how to play A – B – C passage, notes are the same:
Interlude
So we’ve landed on a planet of Orion system, and here we’ve met calm and piece. This interlude consists of three sections and ends by bass solo. Scale moved from Em to F#m, time changed from 4/4 to 6/8, tempo slowed down from 128 to ~80. Bass plays 3 variations on the same chord sequence: F#m – A – E – C#m. The most reasonable decision is to perform they all in 9th position and less jump from bar to bar – save your movement, bassist!
Bass solo initially was a part of Kirk’s line, but guys figured out that would be cool bass to play it. Cliff changed some moments and adapted the part to his “Rickenbacker”. So we have a pearl of Orion – Cliff Burton’s bass solo. I’ll completely review it in one more video.
Bridge and outro
Small bridge leads us to final section of “Orion”, it includes familiar riffs: down-going one (Kirk plays solo over it) and variation of break bass riff. Cliff didn’t invent anything special for outro, maybe because that’s enough of leading bass in the song, who knows. The only exception is a lick with hammer-ons in the final two repeats of outro riff.
In the way, we have a terrific work. His best. And last.

I expected to write a bit more about “Orion”, but got less than supposed, I’ll compensate it in two other reviews I’ve mentioned above. Moreover, I have the intention to revise all the stuff and make a PDF guide to “Orion”, and after that to all Cliff Burton’s legacy, the fullest one. Here is a master bass track from “Orion”, just enjoy that classic sound:
