Get ireal pro - plenty of blues tunes with chord charts.
Map out the triads off the third and off the fifth. Use those as both rhythm guitar and soloing material. Three note voicings on strings 1,2 & 3 and 2,3 and 4. Listen to how players like Robben (and pianists) might substitute a series of triads for the dom7. E g. For Bb7 sub D dim, Eb, Ab, Eb, D dim. (Hammer on the root in D dim)
Learn common static harmony substitutions e.g. Em7b5 for C9. What you use and how depends on what else is going on...
Use your ears - identify structures in blues records and how they differ from a typical 12-bar. Go old school and try and copy licks/phrasing. Timing, pocket, attack...realise how Clapton can't hold a candle to Otis Rush.
Have fun
