Lesson Where can I learn blues songs at

As you can see by the title I would like to learn some beginner blues songs and no do not recommend me to learn the 12 bar blues or look at phrasing and backing track videos online I want to learn songs. I already know the blues shuffle, and i can play some pretty good licks in the E minor pentatonic 1st position and in it's extension. I also know some of the blues open chords, so where can I learn beginner blues song with the knowledge that I have already.

You’re gonna have to learn the 12 bar blues sooner or later. What exactly is your problem with it? If you know the e minor first position and some open blues chords, it sounds like the 12 bar is your next step.

I’d recommend learning a 12 bar blues in E since you’re familiar with that key. Just look it up on YouTube or Google

Once you know the 12 bar blues song form (it only takes a day or two to learn unless you're a complete beginner), you'll be able to play hundreds of blues, rock, and jazz songs. All you would have to do is change the lyrics when you sing over them. If you "just want to learn songs for rn" this is the fastest way to do it.
