claxon,

Be patient. You'll likely get some comments.

I'm a beginner, so it'll take me a bit to pick this out and I can't likely give much in the way of critique.

I really like that chord progression for starters, it's different but in a very good way.

As far as the riff goes, I think it's creative but I don't find it very catchy. The problem is that I don't really know the rhythm of the riff so it's hard to say, if you could record it, it would be easier to critique.

The way you play it, it may already be catchy. If you record it (or write it in standard notation) so we know how it goes, it would be much easier to judge.
