This is a bass riff specific for the blues style of music.

There can be different riffs.

One I can suggest is as follows (in G major):

g:|---------------------

d:|----------------2-5-

a:|------2-2-5-5------

e:|-3-3----------------

You can repeat for chord progression:

G G G G

C C G G

D C G G

starting from the corresponding root note.
