Im a beginner, but I love these "show-off" type riff's.
I know Sunshine of your love.
And enter sandman.

Check out Easy Riffs, Easy riffs of the 80s, and Easy riffs of the 90s.

The bassline to Money by Pink Floyd seems to be a "show of riff" also. It's simple enough, but it sounds awesome.

Do you have Guitar Pro? If you have it go to http://www.mysongbook.com and you can get tons of great guitar riffs and lessons. It has just about every song from every band. If you dont have Guitar Pro I recommend it.. it's a great learning tool.

You must try the intro riff to crazy train. It may be a little bit to hard for a beginner, but it is definatley a riff you can show of with 8) .

You can watch a video here: http://www.freelicks.net/Crazy_train1.htm
Only watch the video where he shows the riff.

But I don't play it like he does in the video. I think it sonds better if you play the open a-string on the 5:th e-string.
