Hard to hear on the phone but sounds like he's just two-hand-tapping up the d minor scale on the B string, trilling and tapping as fast as possible, each time playing two notes with the left hand and the upper note with the right hand, shifting up the degrees of the scale one by one. So in frets, that's
3 and 4 in the left hand, 6 in the right; then
4 and 6 in the left hand, 8 in the right; then
6 and 8 in the left hand, 9 in the right, etc.

This might take some time to work out.

Maybe I should just leave this one until I'm better at transcribing - It's a track I really like and I'd like to play along to it loud when Mrs A is out.

There comes a point when listening to things like this when I start to hear my own interpretation and I lose objectivity, so I have to go away and come back to it.
Edit: I've just has another listen with fresh ears. It definitely needs a bit more thought. Having done a bit more research it's played around the 12 fret area and he spans quite a few frets with his left hand, which is probably why it sounds a bit like tapping.

He's one of my very favourite guitarists, plays a lot of melodic stuff. Not everyone's cup of tea, prog rock has always been unfashionable, and Pendragon are possibly the most unfashionable band of the genre.
I've not listened to this genre much but you've whetted my appetite to listen to more.
I was curious to hear the notes so stuck it into Transcribe and made a slow version -- still no idea how to play it though!
Eventually I recorded my take alongside the original in Reaper at full speed and it (sort of) matches but there are definitely some differences I can't quite nail. Maybe someone else can have a look and spot how to improve it.
Below is my transcription created in Guitar Pro 6. I can supply the Guitar Pro file if anyone wants to have a fiddle with it to improve things. Take the precise timings and time signature with a pinch of salt in the following transcription.

But question:
Can Reaper isolate the guitar clearer than the (somewhat basic) tools in Transcribe! ?
I tried to hear the guitar by (a) slowing it down; (b) HP filter over 160Hz; (c) one channel only mono
And that's what you hear on the mp3 I posted.
Can Reaper improve on that?
Reaper gives the advantage of being able to play along and record it, so I can compare what I've played with the original.
