You can learn your blues scales and the 12 barre blues.

'Cold Shot' by Stevie Ray Vaughan is easy to get to grips with.... nice feel to it...

I'd start with the "sad" kinda blues cuz it's slower than the "boogie" kind. Can't go wrong with something like B.B. King's "Thrill is Gone", or Zep's "Since I've Been Lovin You".

Yep, pentatonics and blues scale for sure, spice it up a bit with slight bends and vibrato - it's in the wrist action.
