If you want to learn how to solo over a blues progression, figure out the harmonica and guitar solos in Big Boss Man. Simple, but very cool.

About 2/3 of the way through Casey Jones there are some cool bass lines. Almost like a solo!

Truckin’ features an awesome jam. No one is really taking any solos. But careful listening reveals the band feeding off of each other. Masterful!
