hell Richard.
Look up Geoff Hohwald and the "Using Pentatonics in the 12 Bar Blues" lessons. It will blow you away. you get detailed video lesson, excellent tab and backup mp3 fast and slow. Geoff also explains some interesting stuff so you understand more about why you play the way you do.
I paid for the full improvisation package and I am on it all the time, I cant stop playing to the supplied backing tracks and any blues, rock n rill, country, 12 bar progression its great value for money and I believe Geoff and his method are by far the best and you will be jamming with confidence. As with any banjo method you need to put in the practice though.
Geoff does not pay me to talk about his method but his lessons will change your life if you take the time to practice.

Rich, have you looked in the BHO tab listings. There shouid be something there.

Here's a 12-bar blues exercise for the key of G, actually three exercises increasing in complexity. Stick with the first two breaks. (The third one is a bit wild.)
This is bluesy 'Casey Jones' stuff, based on a traditional jazz (blues) recording my dad used to play his trumpet along to, though probably in a different key (probably Bb or C).
Badbelly's Banjo Boogie TAB
I hope this helps, Rich!
