Just a little riff...

Now, this thing is tiny... But I wanted to get feedback on how others here think it sounds. I was watching this video and I heard a beautiful little fingerstyle piece, so I picked up the guitar and tried to recreate it... Needless to say, I failed lmao. But this is what I came up with instead. Now, I know this is simple... But I have NEVER played fingerstyle in my life...

Just looking to get some feedback on the riff itself really. It's only 16 seconds... It is just the opening bit. I plan on making a whole progression in this kind of feel. I know I missed time on the third pop at the halfway point, was a tad too fast on it.

Kind of sounds like a pre chorus. The 3 knocks don't seem to have a context in a piece that small so it is hard to say if it fits or not. It is worth working on to see where you can take it.

Sounds great, I think it has a nice blues appeal. I'd like to hear it completed and set to a Jimba for percussion.
