    This is a widely used blues riff (2 riffs actually) using the 12-bar blues structure. You could "recognize" this from hundreds of songs. With these changes I made, I'll call this little composition "Street Blues".
    The idea is: 1) You wanna impress someone; 2) You can't play the fingerstyle (usually it's harder than playing single notes or power chords); 3) Play this (just an idea of what to play)!!!
    I DO KNOW not everybody would be impressed by this but I'm sure a lot of people would love to see someone playing it. If you play the guitar, it's a chance for you to make people happy through music. Give it a try.

    ♫ HOW TO READ GUITAR TABS ♫
    The guitar tablature has six lines. Each one represents a string of the guitar (the upper line represents the first string "e" and the bottom line represents the sixth string "E").
    The numbers represent the FRETS. If there is a number "5" on the upper line, you will play the fifth fret in the first string (e). If there is a number "0" on the second line (from up to down), you will play the second string (B) without hitting any fret (B open string).
    Frequently, I add some guitar solo techniques like hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides to the melody so it can sound closer to the original vocals:
    h = hammer-on;
    p = pull-off;
    / (sl.) = slide.
