the sweet thing about blues is once you know the bassic boogie, shuffle and slow blues you can fake 90% of those..
just need a sharp eye to catch the que's from the band leader

start hitting the local jams...there a ton of fun

Right here...

Big Joe Turner - PDF, TuxGuitar, GuitarPro 4

Bill Haley - PDF, TuxGuitar, GuitarPro 4

[EDIT] I don't have the Blues Brothers take, but this version has some interesting stuff going on under the sax solo, so I'll add it to the list. (The rest of it's pretty mundane IMO) [/EDIT]
