I encourage you to look up "Blues Backing Track in E" on YouTube, and you can just play this tab over those videos. They'll likely be 12-bar blues meaning you will be able to easily discern when to play the root or 'home' note of E. Lastly, you can move this scale up and down the neck of the guitar too. If you play the same pattern laid out above, but start on the 5th fret instead of open E as your first note, you'll be playing blues in A. Happy playing
