Not exactly a "riff", and certainly not a "guitar", as you yourself quoted in ""... But yes, you are absolutely right. A nice progression of melodies, based on 4 different "modes" (maqams in eastern modal music, or "dromi" in greek folk music tradition). Tsitsanis gives perhaps his best performance amongst all his late 30's pieces.
Among the best "guitar" riffs I've ever heard. 👏
