Just a silly question inspired by that sillier song 'Groove is in the heart' but seriously, how groovy do you think you are as players and moreover, how groovy would you like to be?

I discovered this dude:



I think he eats groove each day since he was born tongue.gif he was fed with 'Groove milk'

In my opinion music needs groove like a lock needs a key and a flower pot needs dirt laugh.gif so I am striving to achieve groove in everything I do, both in music and in life in general.

For instance, I have learned how to move my body when playing so that I developed an internal clock, helping me to be on time.

So....What do you do to become groovier? biggrin.gif

Great example and the harmonizing idea is very true indeed wink.gif now, I got an example related to this topic too biggrin.gif I recently discovered that I like to keep a tight pace during rehearsals, when the drummer from Voodoo strays a bit by implementing various elements in the groove or delaying the beat somehow. He is a very expressive drummer and this approach helped incredibly when it came to 'harmonizing' with the band mates biggrin.gif

Great way of putting this Ben biggrin.gif
