It could be Christine, but I'm inclined to think it was actually Lindsey with a variable speed oscillator (VSO). He has used that device extensively in the studio to manipulate the sound of the guitar at least dating back to "Not That Funny". I was rather surprised when Richard Dashut revealed during the 2019 BBC documentary that the intro to "Everywhere" was created by some sped up guitars played by Lindsey. The intro to Part I actually reminds me of the opening arpeggio on "Soul Drifter", which was also achieved with a VSO.

I love the idea of opening and closing with You and I!

I've always known about the Everywhere guitar. You can tell that's a sample (of his own making) . Even back then.
