Any blues songs really, They're essentially the same but some artists
shine over others. Get into the older material for sure. Look at Muddy
Waters and The Three Kings - BB, Albert and Freddie. Of course there is
always Clapton, Hendrix etc. as well as a sleeve full of other blues
guitarists during the course of time. There are about as many to choose
from as there are hairs on your head.
Buy sheet music and where possible, avoid tabs on the internet as well
and start to train your ear to actually hearing the material. Tabs are
often incorrect and can lead you down the garden path all too often. Of
course that isn't to suggest that sheet music is always spot on but its
much better than the alternative.
Play your guitar often and practice until your fingers bleed. You won't
regret it down the track. Take it with you wherever you go.
