Baby Please Don't Go.  Almost any song he ever did has this same riff in it.

Ok, here's an Advanced level 6-string tab from ultimate guitar:

https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/l/lightnin_hopkins/baby_please_don...

Now what you gotta do, is map these 6-string chords to 3-string tuned GDG. This thread shows the process:

And some video lessons:

I've listend to four different versions of 'Baby Please don't Go' and still have no idea what riff your talking about. Point me to a single song on youtube. Then the exact time mark to the start and finish of the riff you need. 

It may be after Christmas before I'm able to work on it. But I'll get it up as soon as I can.

Rat,

I did the same thing, and furthermore watched 5 or 6 vids of Lghtnin' doing different tunes. I can't figure out which riff he's talking about, either. They're all different tunes, with different rhythms. Unless he's talking about the standard "blues shuffle" rhythm, played on the A and D strings at the 2nd and 4th frets. You know: "bump da dump da bump da dump da bump da dump da bump da dump da..."

I think he's referring to the line similar to the opening line of Hooker's Boom,Boom, Boom, Boom

I went out looking for the riff and found this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHwySaWE9dE

The first song, 0-1:34 Is almost like an intro.  In the second song, Rainy Day, he goes into a riff that starts with I believe 12th fret, using his index finger that starts with tripelets, da,da,da,da,da da. da. da. then a turn around.  All I can find this on is a 6 string.  I am trying to get it on a 3 string CBG tuned in Open G.
