This. The man is a genius at catchy riffs.

Jack White has some as well, Seven Nations Army is so simple and cool.

I don't claim to be a music historian, but Johnny B Goode was, at least from what I've seen, originator of rock and roll guitar riffs.

I always give a lot of credit to Chuck Berry/Michael J. Fox for really that. IMO, the guitar on that song is timeless.
