Blues is for everything

So, I've been learning more scales and fooling around with them.

Yesterday, I decided I wanted to play something crazy fast, with lots of tripleting and a pitchy effect. I mixed Cmaj and C (Am pentatonic), added an effect and speed picking, and started using blues techniques (sliding, bending on blues notes, ending on root notes) and it sounds fantastic.

What are some other cool applications for blues technique that shouldn't work but do?
