Learning a song on guitar recently, it was evident that the players were breaking the rules of the song in order to spice it up.
Learning what the rules is very important to being able to break them effectively.
The song in particular was a 12 Bar Blues Standard that, in this arrangement had some little fills tossed in between measures, effectively creating a song that was more than 12 bars.
So, was this song still a Blues song? Those little melody breaks were far more appropriate in metal than they were blues. Beyond that, the song was original recorded by a man and his guitar, but here I was listening to a 12 piece band performing it. Is it still the same song?
