Hey Teddy, check out the bluegrass group on this site (the grass is bluer). While there are plenty of I IV V songs, there are also plenty of I Vers.

Hello Ted,

Well, as a Blues player, I play a lot of 3 chord progressions. Sometimes getting a little more jazzy and adding passing chords.

It all comes down to the tuning you decide on and exploring the fingerboard to understand all the chord inversions up and down the neck that are at your disposal. I play a lot in Open G (Dgbd). Using movable chords there is no limit to what you can do.
I used a study of musical theory to better understand how to proceed. You might enjoy this book:

Enjoy.
