Answer 1

Next step is to learn how to add licks and riffs into the mix. Before you try and play the whole of Clapton's solo from Crossroads : ), here are a few pointers.

Learn the minor pentatonic scale.

Look up tabs of basic blues riffs. A good source is wholenote.com under Beginner's Lessons.

There are lots of good book & CD learning courses. The 'Start Playing' series by Amsco Publications isn't bad, and they have acoustic and electric blues mini-courses.

Later, you'll need a CD of simple blues backing tracks to jam over - many of these mini-courses have these tracks on the CD.

There are more options - check the net, check the bookshops, and practise like hell!

Just kidding, it's a good investment!
