Guess That Riff VIII

[greybeard]

OK, I'm going to start a new thread and lock the old one.

This riff is NOT what you think!!! Well, it is, but it isn't............................ (Not a clue, either)

'yer 'tis

[boxboy]

Nice playing, greybeard.
I'm guessing it's not The Peter Gunn Theme by Duane Eddy?

[greybeard]

Thanks, boxboy.

No, that's exactly what the piece is not

It's actually from a blues man...................

[greybeard]

Let's keep this moving - otherwise I'm going to have to go and secrete myself in my special place.

Next clue:

This is an instrumental by a well-known blues guitarist and was, at one-time, regarded as something that every self-respecting blues guitarist would have in his repertoire. The Peter Gunn section is introduced almost as a bridge and takes the piece out of its basic 12-bar rhythm. Oh, and he shares his surname with 3 or 4 other well-known blues guitarists.

You got it, Gabba, it#s all yours.

Here's one to jog your memory:

[Gabba Gabba Hey]

While the band is often associated with 1970s UK glam rock, this mid-80s song was one of their few US hits.

[boxboy]

Great clues, Gabba.
I don't have anything ready so I'll leave it for now.

[Gabba Gabba Hey]

I was hoping someone would get the jogging clue.

Bagpipes?!

[greybeard]

I'm having trouble, here. I've got J. Geil's Centrefold into my head and can't get past it.

[Gabba Gabba Hey]

This song came out a couple years later ... 1984 I believe. The riff runs under and mirrors the vocal melody.

Sum of the band's song titlez are misspelled in crazee wayz.

[greybeard]

Your jogging clue had me stumped. The bagpipes, in conjunction with 70s glam rock had me hareing off in the direction of Bay City Rollers (a Scottish group). I had already had my beady on Slade, but couldn't come up with anything, until I got myself a copy of Run, Runaway.............................

I'll have to think of something and then record it, so maybe tomorrow if not tonight.

I had the same problem greybeard, except for me it was (In a) Big Country.
Reading the Wiki page on glam after the clue finally cleared my head.
