hi! anyone like to share blues techniques?

i've been playing for around 5 years now so i know a few tricks and licks but they're mostly based around the standard blues scale.
any tabs would be fantastic, even better with an audio attachment!
in return i promise to share any riffs i've made up because lets face it, until you're Misssissippi John Hurt we all need a little help

You might try loking at john's videos, see if you can see what's going on, you can hear and see, that always helps.
this is a good one cause the camera is right on the neck.
good luck

Try adding and bending some different notes around the blues scale. For Example, in A, try bending B (7th fret) on the high E string a half step, same with F# (7th fret) on the B string. All of a sudden, with a bit of a play, you'll start pulling out some BB King sounds.
