OK, I’m trying to figure out what this song is, but I’ve only heard the guitar riff. It’s been on the radio currently, and it was in a commercial on MTV for some new animated show. It sounds like it would be something by the Strokes or the White Stripes, but that’s just a wild guess. Here is as best an approximation of it I can come up with:

E E EDB  
E E EDB  
E E F# EDB

Thanks!
