Pretty square:

"Just My Imagination" If I can get that smooth, I'm getting into my place.

"Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" gets my funk on.

The opening riff from "Route 66". I learned one version many years ago and another one more recently. They're both about the same--just different keys--but one of the really great walking riffs. Gets me movin' all over the neck.

 

lately, it's been "The Leper" by Dinosaur Jr. Love that tune.

 

I'll second War Pigs. I just switched to playing it on fretless and it has really put a new shine on it.
