Blues standards

[Quencho092]

im just looking for some good blues to play and jam on. Some standards. I know hideaway, red house, little wing, green onions and of course anything with a 145 progression. Any good standards that are a little different and have a catchy theme?

Re: Blues standards

I dunno' about standards, but you could probably find backtracks or tabs for "Going Down" by Jeff Beck (redone by various people, including Satch) or Tightrope by SRV. Those are good.

stormy monday blues-

It's got a great bluesy/jazzy feel and a bit more variety than the std 1-4-5

I think everyone and their mother has covered it

Re: Blues standards
