Not greatest but perhaps most recognizable repeated thru category? Think of it as Bach rock - simple and then expanded..

Can't believe I forgot THE riff that started it all... in a pretty goode version !

Thanks dacapo - really needed another distraction today.....   how about the opening riff being the entire tune? Consider anything by Tedeschi Trucks - Midnight in Harlem is awesome - her voice and his slide.  Off to work.
