I'm not exactly sure what you mean here. You would use the same plucking technique for blues as for any other type of music. By "strumming" I assume you mean plucking. Here are some clips on the technique. http://www.youtube.com/results?sear....0.123.992.8j3.11.0...0.0...1ac.1.XY_N7JNyKPA
^ +1 aswell. I never learned my strumming technique for him, but after I figured out whats comfortable for me I noticed he does almost the same.
+1 For me, it's using the back of your nails on the downstroke (E to G string) and the very tip of your fingers on the upstroke (G to E string). I think most people use index + middle fingers to do it. EDIT: This guy has a decent, clear shot of it: Off the top of my head, Groundhog's Day and Last Salmon Man are two very strum-happy songs from the Primus catalog.
