Need some variations for 12 bar blues

[9fingers]

So this is the "basic 12 bar blues:
1111 1111 1111 1111
4444 4444 1111 1111
5555 4444 1144 1155
I need some cool variations, especially for the turnaround part between bars 8 & 12. Thanks!

Here's a standard jazz style Blues with lots of tritone subs.
Classic turnaround.

|..A13..Eb9..|..D9..G#13..|..A13..Bb13..|..A13..Eb9..|

|..D9..Eb9..|..D9..D#dim7..|.. A13..G13..|..F#13..C9|

|..B9..F13|..E13..Bb13|..A13..C13..|..B13..Bb13..||

Kinda Parkerish.

Supernatural by Peter Green

| Dm7|....|C..Bb|Dm7|

|Dm7|....|A7alt|....|
