Vamps are also found in rock, funk, reggae, R&B, pop, country, and post-sixties jazz. Vamps are usually harmonically sparse. A vamp may consist of a single chord or a sequence of chords played in a repeated rhythm. The term frequently appeared in the instruction 'Vamp till ready' on sheet music for popular songs in the 1930s and 1940s, indicating that the accompanist should repeat the musical phrase until the vocalist was ready. Vamps are generally symmetrical, self-contained, and open to variation."(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostinato#Vamp)</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443815126647_4670"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443815126647_4902">Does this help?
