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 he was fed with 'Groove milk'
In my opinion music needs groove like a lock needs a key and a flower pot needs dirt 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.
Great example and the harmonizing idea is very true indeed now, I got an example related to this topic too 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
