After slogging through the weekend and using the services of WinAmp and two marvellous plug-in's : LoopMaster and Pacemaker, I have managed to decode the first few lines of this, very favourite of songs.
It remains to be verified by the Master. But it sounds really close. In any case, if it is wrong, I'll make corrections here.
My bet is that the song is in D-Major and the pitch is D, 3rd String, 7th Fret.
The song itself is in D Major.
The song goes like this:
[Notation: small letters mean flat notes. Underscores imply lower octave. / imples slide]
(4th String open) , S , N_/S P_ || X 2
S , N_ S S/R R/g/R S , S S S/N_/S S
P_ N_ S R G m G/m/G R

Major Scale
S R G G M G R [x 2]S R G G M P D , N , D PD N S(high) S(high) N D PD D P M G S R G G S G R , R G R S
This is a momentous moment. Even bigger than this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhinav_Bindra

Why? Because after 2+ years, I'm able to Decode!!! Yipee!!
For the musically challenged, 'decode' is the holy grail for people interested in Lead Guitaring. It means you can listen to a tune/song/melody and then pick out the notes and play them yourself.
Of course there are levels of decoding, just as there are layers on an onion. I'm at the peel now, to give you an analogy. I can pick simble songs like the one above. But even so, the feeling is quite wonderful.
I've submitted the decode to my master and when he gets back I'll know how close/far I was. But in general people are able to understand that this is Hum Honge Kamyaab!
