| Try learning the Allman Bro's version of Stormy Monday (a jam session favorite), Unchain my heart by Ray Charles is a good minor blues. Most versions of it go I,I, I, I, IV, IV, I, I, though there is a version that goes to the bVI instead of the IV, learn both. BB King's the Thrill is gone is another Jam favorite with a bVI, V turn around instead of the V, IV. A Teenie weenie bit of your love is a good example of a Rumba beat, Also listen to some swing or jump blues and you'll hear a II, V turnaround sooner or later. A I, VI, II, V or I, VI, IV, V tail (11th and 12th bar) is also common.
There is also a blues bassist's club on TB. You're welcome to join or subscribe to the thread.
