I believe that the groove is the most important element of music. What is the groove? The groove is something you feel, not hear. Groove is a combination of many elements, especially the rhythm, sound and feel of the music. We must find and feel the groove when we play, especially when playing with other people. It doesn’t matter how well we are playing individually, if we don’t play in the groove it won’t sound good. Conversely, if we play with the groove, we will sound much better even if we aren’t playing something amazing.
