expression or by the book (note for note)

The freedom of expression is a wonderful privilege for us as a guitarist, can you imagine if we where like robots? we are controlled not by our feelings. It's like eating burger without ham LOL. That's what makes us unique from one another, it is because, expression will reveal your style although we have similar genres, but we have all unique style in playing guitar. Music is science and art. Art means "based from your own perception"

siguro yung by the book eh doesn't mean walang expression. parang programming lang yan eh. bibigay sayo yung syntax pero ikaw bahala kung pano mo gagamitin sa paggawa ng program.

I heard the extremes of this:

From the far right: I talked to a musician from the old school about Steve Morse as the new Deep Purple guitarist...goes like this

Him: Hindi magaling yung bagong guitarista ng Deep Purple
Me: Ows? Eh galing Kansas yan at Dixie Dregs
Him: Ay, walang natutunan sa dalawang banda na yun?
Me: Bakit?
Him: Kasi di niya pinaplaka ang mga adlib ni Ritchie Blackmore
Me: Kahit si Blackmore di niya pinaplaka ang mga solo niya live
Him: Kaya pala puro isa dalawang araw lang ang tinutugtog nila sa mga ibang bansa at di 6 months. Kasi dapat ang ginagawa nila pag tumugtog live, walang pinagkaiba sa plaka. 

The other extreme, from a certain blues guitarist I read in guitar player

"I don't need to know lots of scales. In fact I can say a world of feelings with one bent note!"
