    Yes! Though I'm not familiar with the soap opera you mentioned, I'm familiar with the main riff of this tune. The main riff of this music was also used by Mary J. Blige in her song, 'No More Drama'. There's just something about this riff that creates a somber and melancholic feel, and make us feel blue. Thanks for demonstrating to us how to play the main riff of this theme music. An awesome teaching session, Ben!
