Nice conversation .

The goal of playing arrangements is to determine which styles sounded like the original song .

When working with arrangements , there are limitions . Some songs have unique tempo or measure changes that can not be duplicated ( without a lot of work sequencing a custom pattern ) using a generic style . So learning the limitations of styles is a big learning experience .

Another thing that I take into consideration is the intro's , endings and variations . They need to fit the song musically . I have learned that many styles can be very effective with just a guitar strum or isolated drums + bass .

So to me, these are very important things to learn in using arrangements .
