Boom boom is transcribed many times in Thailand.
I have tried to make an arrangement for acoustic banjo and guitar in the key of G in standard tuning. Hooker played on guitar in E or F (probably tuned up a half tone from standard tuning). He have mad several recordings of Boom Boom, and he does it different all the time. The C part "instrumental break" is my own - you improvise over over a standard 12 bar blues in G. I think that even a slow version of Foggy Mountain Special could work.

Is the 1/3 at the very start a slide from 1 to 3?
Apologies for my ignorance
I saw him three times before he died.
He was purely awesome.
