Was Berry the Allman Bros' bassist in the late 60s/early 70s? I've been working on some songs from this era and I think the bassist is great! I've been working on their version of Stormy Monday blues and some other songs from their Atlanta and Fillmore concerts.
You could always start by transcribing his works. Figure out the chords, then figure out what the bass is playing over those chords. If you already understand blues forms and basic walks over those forms, studying these songs should allow you to add more tools to your toolbox.
If you need to work on basic walking first, then you'd probably want to start with Ed Friedland's Building Walking Bass Lines book.
