Just go to Google (or any other search engine), pick your blues artist, type in his name and the word "tablature" and you'll get more than you can deal with. There are still some free tab sites out there, but there are some questions about their legality and their quality is pretty variable. You'll also get hits for sheet music sites where you can legitimately buy the tabs which are generally more accurate than the freebies.

I would suggest "Strange Brew" off of the Disraeli Gears album by Cream. A simple 12 bar blues in the key of A.

Do you have any CDs or mp3s of blues songs? If you could listen to it a few (hundreds) of times, that would sure help you learn it. It really would help if you tried to learn a blues song that you liked.

So start getting some music and pick your songs that way.

Try "Crosscut Saw". Either Albert King or Clapton version, both are very good.

Whatever "song" you decide on, try not to learn it note for note. Learn the Intro and Hooks, but try to capture the feel of the song with your own lead lines.

Kansas City, Stormy Monday, House of the Rising Sun, High Heeled Sneakers, Mannish Boy, Boom Boom, and just mess around with different combos of the 1, 4 ,5 progression and Blues Scale.

Good choice. I agree Clapton's "Before you Accuse Me" is a good blues some to learn.
