Some users want to get exact, or very close copies of a backing track, but others, like me, just need the band to show up on time, play on key and at the right tempo. To each his own. I like the flexibility, others, not so much.



+1.

I count myself a big Bill Frisell fan. Can't say I would want to show up at a bar and see you cop one of his tunes note for note. It just doesn't seem in the spirit of his music. Even he doesn't play the song the same way twice.

For me, his music shows me new things I can do with melody and harmony in the spontaneous moment. Watch how he plays. He's thinking and experimenting all the time. He's truly an amazing guitar player to take such seemingly simple melodies and make them sing like he does.

If you have time check out "the Advancing Guitarist" by Mick Goodrick. It will give you some great ideas that seem very consistent with his playing

That being said, when I play one of his songs (I have about 5 in my rep now) I do play some homage licks (like I do with Wes, Santana, Allman, Hendrix, etc).
Respect, not robot is my mantra.

I hope I don't sound harsh, it wasn't my intent.
