How to play "Wish You Were Here" on guitar?

I don't want the chords. Only the fingering. It's by Pink Floyd if that helps.

    Not sure what you're asking. If you mean the beginning, just do a G shape with your hand, play the bottom at 3rd, pull on at second with your middle finger, and with your ring finger do the final two notes and then the chord. The rest is kind of just listen and play. If you're talking about the solo I'm not sure how to help you out.
