@masterofpuppets321 That's why it's called the blues, and that's why we like it. Maybe because we identify with it at some level.
Like Howlin' Wolf once said, "When you ain't got money, when your baby left you, when you can't pay the rent and ain't got shit, then you got the blues"
@TheLasher500 I sometimes play open E (e-B-G#-E-B-E) and I hardly ever break strings... maybe I don't play the exact same method of open E as you, or maybe I'm just lucky! Open G I can vouch for being fine on the strings too and I've never tried open D. The only other tuning I've tried was open A but I wasn't in that particular tuning for long enough to see any damaging effects on the strings.
@kowy88 Well, I do have a glass slide made from a wine bottle, and I'm working on the alcoholic thing, which should in turn lead to me being dumped by the woman I love, eventually making me a great blues man.
Of course it'll take quite a while until you sound as good and elaborated, but it will sound like real blues in no time, and that's what's I think is most important. As a listener, I'd pick a sloppy impro over a technically perfect procession of standard licks any day. Also, I believe playing music is meant to be fun. So don't be too critical of yourself, and don't just practise for the end result. Practise for the pure sake of having fun playing guitar.
I play slide guitar myself mainly Delta Blues from the early 1920's to the mid 1940's, u can check me out on YouTube as well, some songs I do r "If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day" & "Terraplane Blues" by Robert Johnson and "Step It Up & Go" by Blind Boy Fuller! YOUR SLIDE WORK IS GOOD BUT TRY LOOSING THAT PICK & GET YOU SOME FINGER PICKS & THEN YOU'LL RELLY BE PLAYIN THE BLUES, PLUS WITH FINGER PICKS U CAN DO A LOT MORE INTRIQIT PICKING & SLIDE WORK!
Damn! The Big Show can play them Blues.

Sweet. That was awesome. No offense to you or blues (both of which are awesome) but the summary of every blues song is:
My baby left me
I miss her alot
Why did she leave
She was so sweet
The end

Open E is also called the String Buster because it is tuned so high. Better try Open D or G.

Tabs? Forget about tabs. Grab your guitar and FEEL the blues.
Seriously, all you really need to play something like this is a 12 bar scheme and your heart.
Sure, and a little practice maybe =).
(I suck terribly because I don't practise, so I can't actually prove what I said. But I know it's true.)
