[QUOTE=Aleroman]For instance, when your playing 12 bar blues Rythm, what chords can you play? Like A, D, E and in what order? Also, G, C and what else?

If you are trying to figure out what three chords form a I-IV-V blues chord progression in any key, I have done them all for you (and with backing tracks to play along!) here:

Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
