Repeat until your blues are gone.

Keep the bass G string going with your thumb as a constant rhythm, and then add the
other notes with your middle and index fingers. This is the main riff. Repeat it with some
variation throughout - it's the blues, Junior didn't play it the same every time, and 
neither should you.

Here's a simple variation I use. As long as you keep the rhythm going with your thumb,
nearly anything can work.
