Here's a two chord vamp that's the main part of an old tune of mine, one of my most seldom played songs.
It's a C minor to Ab/Bb thing. I use lots of pedal and let it set a certain mood. It's very relaxing to play this. As with many of my improvs, I would play this for ten or twenty minutes straight when I was in my twenties. I seem to like everything to be a lot shorter at this stage of the game, mainly from listening back and realizing if I was dragging a tune out too long what would I expect other people to do.
This brings me to a funny realization: I'm flirting with the idea of lengthening these relaxing progressions and literally putting people to sleep with it! It used to bother me that my music made people yawn, but wisdom says to exploit your strengths and weed out your weaknesses. I thought of marketing my music as a sedative! At least some kind of music therapy usage should be possible as it is a legitimate field.
