Chromatic blues where next?

Hi,
Having previously gone through David's 5 lessons and his Swingin With George artist piece, I'm wondering where to go next to continue my learning journey of blues on this instrument. Anyone got any ideas or advice?
Thanks,
Graham

Thanks. I'm already down the
Thanks. I'm already down the "jazz rabbit hole" Filip Jers is my goto there.
Graham:
"Big Harp George" Bisharat plays a lot of differnt blues tunes in various keys, all on C chromatic. A great way to learn. Pick up his CDs, and then check out his list of keys and harps on his web site.
George, in turn, worked on scales in all keys via lessons (first volume on DVD, second volume on website) produced by Nashville-based Ross Walters. Check out Ross at www.chromaticlessons.com.
And if you want to go down a jazz rabbit hole that also includes blues, check out jazz chromatic player Yvonnick Prene, at www.yvonnick.prene.com. He's got variious lesson series. But be forewarned: His tablature system is very different from David's.
