If you know theory and your technique is already good, you don't need a book for beginners. I suggest listening to different Blues players and styles and start jamming to the songs. Upload a song here and we'll see if we can help...

Hummm my two cents, listen play and then listen.

I look at EC, SRV , Rory Gallager etc, and thats simply what they did.
In the name of God, Eric Clapton and the Slowhand, Amen.
