Find a local 'open mic' blues jam and join in. Trust me, you'll learn VERY quickly in front of a room full of drunks.
Seriously, that's how I did it, and I turned into a half-decent blues player within a few months, maybe even weeks. That was about 20 years ago, though, and I pretty much suck at blues now. I didn't do the SRV thing; Albert King was more my role model.
Since everything is a I-IV-V, blues jamming is great even if you don't know a lot of songs.
