Over the solo guitar, the bass guitar is playing the same riff that appears
in Tubular Bells, the part of "The Bell", and it's something like this:
G+-----------------2--|--2--0--------------------|
D+-----------0--2-----|--------2--0--4--5--------| Repeating it the whole time.
A+--0--0--0-----------|--------------------3--2--|
E+--------------------|--------------------------|
************************************************************************************
Tips:
(*) Use a Wah-Wah pedal with the just quantity of distorted effect.
(**) Here you can reemplace the note by a fast and long Slide up -----> 3/(20)

Great song, I would reccomend starting off on clean guitar then moving onto more
when it comes quite high around 22, it pwnz when you play along with the actual song,
fun.
