Topic: Any Pink Floyd fanatics like me that I could borrow your brain for?

I've been playing now for just over 20 years and have been struggling really hard to learn the opening riff to the live version of the song, The Embryo.

I've got the vocal parts down alright and the middle fx I can wing them but the guitar riff in the begining is driving me mad!  Here's a link to my insanity and if ANYONE can help me figure this out in tab I would be eternally grateful!

I know it's based around the 12th or 14th fret but then I'm lost. 

Many thanks.

Cheers

Re: Any Pink Floyd fanatics like me that I could borrow your brain for?

Sorry, I can't be any of help on this one.  I can usually figure out chords, but when it comes to trying to duplicate somebody like David Gilmour (especially high on the fretboard), then I'm pretty much useless.

I did a number of internet searches and came up empty.  Maybe somebody who (unlike me) is a real guitar player can decipher it for you.  Hang in there.
