Orion Guitar Lesson Pt.1 - Metallica

[@gabrocki]

I rarely see you smiling Carl, but not even you can play this one without a smile on your face. Love this song.

[@mattthedestroyer2804]

Every Metallica fan that plays guitar should learn this

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

agree this along with master of puppets and call of Ktulu are mandatory learning for aspiring guitar shredders.

[@eric8332]

Short fingers 😢. I have the hand size of an 8 year old.

[@lt4801]

@@eric8332 dont worry, your hand will adapt and you'll be able to stretch further with practice!

[@randy0210]

Eric W. Use your pinky until it gets comfortable. I use my pinky for this song and for power chords.

[@geologist5838]

Lukas Tabery exactly he can use his pinky for the E at 7 until he practice a lot and stretch his fingers

[@strollingteh1]

Some pick it up slowly, Some pick it up quickly, Either way, onr have to practice frequently. Thanks for the lesson.

I’ve been playing for seven years, and my iron man doesn’t even sound right. So that right there is a misconception.

[@lowridadaman4126]

@@fnlnolan9productions664 to be fair iron man sounds weird no matter who plays it because when it was recorded Some things were weird with the pitch

[@robfullman2326]

For the love of god Carl, please do call of Ktulu. Your already my fav KZbin guitar teacher, call of Ktulu would be so freaking amazing.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Orion and Call of Ktulu are two of the all time greatest rock instrumentals in music history!

5:15 thanks for NOT breaking down the only rythym structure in this song that is difficult.

[@fnlnolan9productions664]

The first power chord pattern is difficult too

[@iamtheking9418]

And he isn’t correct on the gallop...he is missing on the upbeat

[@malakai.2025]

you should listen to a song and already know the rhythms before learning it. if its that confusing just listen to the song

[@connorgodin1220]

@@malakai.2025 yea it’s very easy to just play by ear, if if you don’t know how to play buy ear, cuz I don’t lol

Boys and girls please read the description. The lesson starts there. Carl, you are such a great teacher. Thanks a lot!

Can we just appreciate how much effort he puts into his discription

[@JJRMurray]

You are one of the best teachers I could ask for, thank you Carl.

[@tristanroy3492]

Hi Carl ! I would like to thank you for this lesson !! You're the best teacher I've ever had !!! I just learn this part in just an hour I would like to tell you that I'm folowing you from Québec in Canada 🇨🇦🤘🏽 Thanks a lot to you 😊😊

[@katmeija5737]

Hey man thanks a lot for the clear, concise lesson. Ive been wanting to complete that harmony section for 10 years now, and never applied myself. With these lessons im happy to say i can play it all start to finish. Keep up the good work!

[@elielliott6305]

yo would you be able to help me with the rythm at the start cant figure out the 000 000 110 00 pattern but thats what i thought it was

[@wadeanderson4515]

I watch your videos all the time and have learned a lot from you and in my appreciation I’m going to check out your teaching videos to hopefully learn even more and support your efforts. Ty for sharing your passion for guitar with us and I would not be the player I am today if it weren’t for ur videos. Ty Carl sincerely!!! Great work man!

[@TimmyTenThumbs]

What a freaking goat. Thanks for this you absolute legend.

[@educatedcanadian7408]

So so so so so so glad you did this one. I think it's so melodic and love the solos. If you're a bassist this would be perfect practice for you. It's great, so so glad you chose this thank you carl. Love it. Guitar god carl completes yet another great lesson. He is the best axe teacher online hands down. Prove me wrong, prove me wrong!

[@thorggernaut3081]

god bless you carl, this has been on my "bucket list have to learn" songs for far too long and now, I'm feeling so fulfilled I've just learnt all of part 1. quick coffee break then back into part 2.

Hey, do think you could do "the day that never comes" by Metallica please. Thanks.

Whenever I have time to kill, I go back and learn solos off this album. And I always get stumped on one part. Great job Carl. Appreciate it man

[@CastleFsUczN5nnK]

I'm surprised that there are no comments here that mention the bass parts... I'll be the first! IMO the bass solos are harder in this song than the guitar solos.

[@gearivan1984]

Maybe cuz it's a guitar lesson?

[@strat458796]

Castlemaster712 I mean the whole song was pretty much wrote by Cliff

I was messing around with a tab book and they were throwing in a B5 and it just didnt sound right so i started playing it the way i remember hearing it with an E5 and it felt better then i just needed proof i wasnt nuts a found this. Thanks

The whole song is the hardest part of the song this song is fucking impossible

[@malakai.2025]

@@fnlnolan9productions664 its actually not a very hard song as long as you've been playing for atleast a year and play enough to be very comfortable with your instrument. you're probably just a little bit below the skill level you need to be at

[@brendanhill1868]

When Kirk does it live he doesn't do that pull off climb down the neck from 12/14 - 2/3 on the high E towards the end of the solo. He plays it all up around the 12 fret on a few strings. So is Kirk just doing that now for whatever reason or is it how it should be done?

[@nathannathan284]

hey carl, great lesson, i was wondering if you're planning to do a lesson series for "suicide and redemption", i know its super long but i think it whould be pretty cool if you did. thanks again for your lesson, helped alot.
