 Where this  WoK~ vamp Bass note follOWs the Third ('C')of the A Flat/C
Tonic chord semi-tonically up (chromatically) to the (Eb) sus chord IV/V,
I found the temptation  to tranpose the grip.
 PHEW! Noo, noo, noo!
 But the simple ~WoK~Guitar  Riff' (C)_(B)_(Ab) phrase has an echo in the latter
~Hymn to Him~'s violin  riff motifs (successive) drops:
___Top.tone__semitone lower___3/2tone Lower.
 
 Ya' might say, McLaughlin's "At Play In The Fields of The Chord"? 
 Generally, both feature set Turnaounds-to-Tonic follOWed by a looser 
Tonic pancake toss. :-) They're flippin', they're floppin'...
 Note: In 1978, John McLaughlin drew on ~WINGS OF KHARMA~'s vamp above for 
 ~NEW YORK ON MY MIND~, from his ~JOHNNY McLAUGHLIN, ELECTRIC GUITARIST LP~ .
