Any ideas on some leads? Been doing some jamming in E and this riff comes up but I don't know how to jump off into a lead.

We do a Backdoor Man jam that goes into a few songs and this would be a great addition.

I'm trying to mix in Smokestack Lightning as well and also just posted for some lead ideas there too.

Many Thanks, Ed.

Smokestack and spoonful are pretty much the same. I posted some riffs for New speedway boogie awhile back that will work for those tunes. Just straight ahead E blues using the G shape on the 12th fret works well. Something like this

E|--12b--12b--15~-12~-------------------------------------------------------------------
B|--15b--15b--15~-12~--15b-12-----------------------------------------------------------
G|-----------------------------14p13p12-------------------------12--------------12---12-
D|---------------------------------------14--12---------12--14------------12h14----14---
A|-----------------------------------------------13h14-------------13h14----------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also works at the outro for truckin, jdarks has a similar tab at the end his trucking tab that will do just fine.
