Eliot,

The comments below are not informed and are motivated by something other than interest in your musical growth. I'm sorry I haven't seen them sooner. I'll be glad to explain during lesson.

You are such a good player Elliot!!!!!!! Time for you to learn Flamenco and Jazz!!! To bad you don't live in Dallas, I could give you kick in the right direction. I know! Go to SMU and study with Bob Guthrie or go to UNT and study with my uncle, Tom Johnson. Then you'll be close enough to kick ;-)

Musicologists and other scholars began to analyze the concept of "groove" in the 1990s. They have argued that a "groove" is an "understanding of rhythmic patterning" or "feel" and an intuitive sense" of "a cycle in motion" that emerges from "carefully aligned concurrent rhythmic patterns" that sets in motion dancing or foot-tapping on the part of listeners.

While some musicians have called the concept of "groove" a subjective and elusive notion, they acknowledge that the concept is well-understood by experienced musicians at a practical, intuitive level. Funk and Latin musicians refer to "groove" as the sense of being "in the pocket", and jazz players refer to groove as the sense that a jam session is really "cooking" or "swinging."

That's not groovy, Elliot, but it is very good. 5 stars!

Groove is the sense of propulsive rhythmic "feel" or sense of "swing" created by the interaction of the music played by a band's rhythm section (drums, electric bass or double bass, guitar, and keyboards). The term is mainly used in the context of genres outside of Western art music [classical music], such as funk, salsa, power groove, fusion, and soul.

You are ready to start studying flamenco! Go for it, Elliot. It will change your life!
