I haven't played this in a long time but the first part of the solo ,if you're playing in D, is a 3rd position D chord w/ index finger on the 1st string 5th fret and the 3 notes in the shuffle are A,B, and C (the 7th). I play the D chord and collapse the L.H. ring finger to get the B note and then play the C with my pinky then walk back down and up again, repeat that and then move up to a G chord (the same form you used on the 5th fret) at the 10th fret and do the same shuffle you did on the D chord and then back to the D chord and do the shuffle just once this time. It's not that hard but the timing is a little tricky, it just takes listening and practice. That should get you started.
