Even if you play this normally it gives the slide a lot more "energy" because it's coming between beats and makes it stand out. I play some of them very loud which goes even further to making it stand out.

The official score can get you started but beyond that, you're still learning the song by ear.
To be fair, they change up the parts between the versions anywhere between barely to fairly significant. The score might actually be "official" in that that's what they actually referenced and based the various versions off of. In that sense, it's really official and they expect you to add the flair yourself, which is a problem for crappy players like myself.
