hmmm... im not entirely sure i understand your question, but ill give it a shot...
i think ultimately its in the harmony, you gotta use the IV and V chords, not necessarily in a 12 bar blues format but moving to these chords from the tonic always instantly makes me think of the blues.
aside from that the rythm is important IMO

Simon, the roman numerals work like this:
C D E F G A B
I ii iii IV V vi vii
Above is the Key of C and below the letter names are the Roman numeral identifiers. The upper case is for major and the lover case is for minor. Getting to know this system helps when you want to play a song in a different key. When you know the "numbers" of each chord in a progression, you can apply those "numbers" to another key and play the same progression in that key.
Does that make sense?

Hi Simon
Paul's answer in the other thread was a great description of blues.
Also practising 'question and answer' or 'call and response' type phrasing from blues scales is a good and also fun thing to work on.
Other than that I think learning scales in swing rhythms is good too
Also go to youtube and look for Son House, John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson, BB King and recently Derek Trucks,Jeff Healey of course Gary Moore
Great for inspiration!
