Dave...
Whenever I play a song new to me I listen to as many individual/stylistic versions as possible. This used to mean buying records. Now there's YouTube and such. Different vocalists on songs, different instruments, different styles...it all adds to the angles of approach and the library of sounds. For instance...
"Don't Blame Me"
vocal: https://youtu.be/lwrxGTWpGYs / https://youtu.be/3v5MitIbfKU
sax: https://youtu.be/Vlci2sp91H0
trumpet: https://youtu.be/UWCe3lyMqZ0
keys: https://youtu.be/KshrtLXBdl8 / https://youtu.be/pwseOqLoFYw
and guitar: https://youtu.be/ehLzos_zMFY
So I guess I'm saying listen. Listen until it's coming out your ears. Then it'll come out of your hands...
Have fun.
