Crossroads
Thump the Bottom
Once there was a time when you were expected to be on beat all the time. I think back in the day, Jimmy Page was credited for breaking the studio rules, in terms of accelerating and decelerating a song.
Since the advent of computer recording and playing to a click track, it seems we have regressed back to the style of playing on beat consistently.
Many of the great Blues, and Rock artists ran their own clock. Granted this is not something you can go into a blues jam and start going all over the place, people have to be able to follow you. And too much alteration may cause people to think you are playing jazz. God forbid.
This guy breaks it down using Hendrix as an example.
