I've known how to play it for a long time, so I thought I would share my version with you. Now Brian Marshall was a very good bassist. He mixed in a lot of fills/slides. I haven't been able to figure all of them out, but here is my interpretation. Drop-D tuning of course.

It's the guitar solo, but on bass.
