I'm sure there's more to it than just the notes.. there's also the tone he has.. a really twangy sound and possibly a bit of delay? I don't know.. which is why I am asking for any tips or pointers on getting a groove of my own.

Feel free to post general comments about the song in general too :p This is a classic! :)

A couple of songs I like to 'groove' on are ZZ Top's 'Just Got Paid', Rare Earth's 'Celebrate' and PFunk's 'Give Up the Funk' (ok, it's more of a bass groove but still...). I just love those kind of riffs that kind of rotate throughout a songs that, like coming out of a chorus, that grooving riff resolves the end of the chorus. It just has that swing to it.
