My own experiments trying to actually play on/ahead/behind the beat have only ever revealed how absolutely shocking my timing is!
Great question @finest1
Think of it like this:
Sit and rock in a rocking chair.
First sit upright, rock back and forth.
Second, lean back and slouch, rock back and forth.
Third, lean way forward, rock back and forth.
You're still rocking back and forth, it's just a different feeling.
My interpretation has always come from the likes of Jimmy and Eddie, Chuck Berry etc... the contrast between a shuffle and straight eights will give you the feel of pulling and pushing the beat around. I also think Jeff Healey did it very well.
Billy Gibbons tends to lay just behind ... this helps create a thicker sound from a 3 piece band.
Dave Grohl tends to push forward for urgency
At least that's how I hear it
