I absolutely love playing along with this one, it's like a meditation once you get inside that signature riff and keep it tight.

So what do you mean by a vamp?

the way I see it, it's when a musical pattern from a song is repeated for quite a while during which time musicians will ad lib over it, dance whatever and then eventually either break into the start of the song or will continue it. It's used a lot when members of quite large bands come on one by one until they're all on and then break into the song proper.

@Nail Soup 'Vamp 'til ready' - opening chords/riff/rhythm used by old time dance bands to keep dancers on the floor until the lead instrument/singer is ready to come in with the tune.
