The very simplest 12 bar blues progression is the one you've heard a million times - such as the "Batman" theme (from the old TV show):

C7 -C7 - C7 - C7 -

F7 - F7 - C7 - C7 -

G7 - F7 - C7 - G7 -

You can solo over it using notes and licks from the "C" blues scale.  THere are a million cooler variations than these very standard chords, but it's a great strting place.

All the best!

This is the blues scale in C.

C Eb F F# G Bb C

In any key its these notes

1 3b 4 4# 5 7b 8or1

This progressions is also good to play during shouting music, or behind a preacher, or in a blues sounding gospel song.

Let me know if you need anything else
