Learn to play the intro to You Better You Bet as performed by Pete Townshend of The Who.
While not super complicated in terms of chord fingering, it's still a great example of a creative arpeggio rock song introduction. In my mind, this guitar intro is a "guitar version" of Pete's keyboard/synth type song foundations that were a hallmark of Who's material since the Who's Next album. While there is already a synth playing underneath this, this guitar arpeggio itself could have been a synth "bed" to build the song on top of, but he chose to play on a 12 string electric (probably a Rickenbacker).

The Who singles were always beautifully crafted and so utterly unique.

Pete Townshend is just a different breed of guitarist to create a complex and cool intro from simple cord groups.
