When we hear a song played it is often not just the melody we listen to, but the backing that goes with it. And if it's a song we know well then we know (or think we know) what the backing should sound like. Have a listen to this number from 1961 by Elvis Presley.

This is a number that I have played, and true to form, I have put a backing to it that is very similar in it's structure. Here is my version of this song.

Have a listen now to how Jon D has interpreted this song. He has put it to a completely different rhythm and backing and put his own stamp on this song.
