buskers challenge: best riff to loop on a looper and jam over for hours

[Keef Riffers]

so I have started one of these in the past but I wanted to start this back up. So far the two best blues-y riffs I have found for straight up ripping it on the street is the Hendrix version of "Born under a bad sign" and "money" by pink floyd. You guys reccomend anything else in this vein? It doesnt have to be recognizable necessarily just something that lends itself to nasty good blues licks.

Any Robert Johnson type of rhythm should cover you... MAlted Milk type of rhythm get me caught up for hours playing.

You can jam for ours on those type of rhythms well at least I know I'm a sucker for those. I have one progression that I wrote based around the malted milk style... it's always evolving and one I look forward to jam with eiother on electric or acoustic those always seem to work great for both.

ZZ Top La Grange

Hendrix again, but the 12 bar blues riff from "Red House." I learned to play lead to that thing on a 4 track.

Maybe more funky, but:

Cissy Strut

And:

Anything with a Bo Diddley beat.

[BassMent]

Allman's "Stormy Monday" for lots of opportunites to do cool chromatic stuff.

"Manish Boy" or the signature riff from "When The Levee Breaks" for just going neanderthal.

[NJlo]

And now for something completely different:

Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie. Great song!

[Donner]

I just wanna make Looooove to you

la grange is a definite maybe....IF I can segue into hot for teacher!

Corleone is right on the money money money MONAY.

Miles Davis All Blues if for definite happenin asap. Also chameleon. Those are tasty tasty jams that allow me to do that kind of zappa--->hendrix-->SRV kind of thing ='s jamming the same riff for a while.

I dont sing at all on the street because thats a whole other level of heckeldom that I cant deal with. I find when i can jam on something for at least an hour and even better two hours or more, I find a lot of really cool licks AND learn a lot about the guitar in the process. ALl while makin some coin.

I just figured out the bass line to "Barney Miller" in drop D. THATS gonna be a good jam too.

thanks guys keep em comin.

I am planning on meeting a friend I havent seen in 14 years in ashville and he is going to film be jammin on a friday night over there and I will put it on you tube. I use a digitech pds 1002 2 second delay sample/hold as a kind of drum machine as well as a primitive organ (chord pitch shifting) to layer some meat on to my progressions.

Plus I just got that little "percussion synthe" analog synth pedal from the 70s? Its fixin to be AWN

Two very good suggestions
