Orion Solo (Metallica) best version

Here's the first solo from the epic Metallica instrumental 'Orion' from 'Master of Puppets'.

The solo is in the key of Em and Bm and has that trademark early Kirk Hammett modal sound. The first half is in E Aeolian (or 'natural minor') before switching to B minor for the second half. Or you can think of it as being in E Aeolian for he first half and switching to E Dorian for the second half.

I'd put this at about intermediate difficulty. There's nothing super fast here, but getting the whole thing out nice and smooth is a good little challenge for the average guitar player I'd say.

I'm using a Washburn Culprit with stock everything going into a Boss ME-50 (using the "Guv'nor" overdrive, with just a little room reverb and a smidge of delay, and a bit of compression to cover my mistakes), and into a Peavey solid state.
