So I like the blues and I havent listened to it besides the past couple of days. Anybody got some classic blues cds I could get? Any suggestions.
Also, anybody got any guitar tab for it or chord progressions for a beginner in the genre of blues?
Thanks in advance.

- Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": There are five different types of chairs in this hotel room.
As far as the old blues greats go, check out Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, the Kings (BB, Albert, Freddie), Howlin' Wolf, Mississippi Fred, Lightnin' Hopkins, the list goes on. For more contemporary/electric blues, check out the Bluesbreakers (especially the Clapton and Peter Green eras - want to know how Clapton became known as "god"? 
), Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, Hendrix ('Blues' album is good).
As far as blues progressions go you can't get any more basic or cliche than the I-IV-V progression - meaning degrees of the major scale of that key - for example in E that would be E major (the 1st degree/interval), A major (the fourth), and B major (the fifth). 7th chords also sounds great in this progression, too (i.e. I7 IV7 V7, or E7, A7, and B7).

blues scale (key of G):
It's a pentatonic minor scale, but it adds the IV#/Vb note. (in this case C#)
