Let's try varying some of the chords we used in the last page. For now, I'm only going to show the first 5 measures of the tune. From these measures, you'll know the chord voicings for the E7 and the A7, and when it comes to the B7, you can just use the same voicing for the A7, just moved up two frets. In the example below, I've replaced our E7 and A7 with E9 and A9. Using the 9th chord is common in blues, and the voicings shown here are pretty standard. Get to know them, and use them in your playing.
