Make it Groovy & Swing

There are many musicians who can play to a click track, but still the rhythm or melody doesn’t feel “groovy” even though everything is played correctly. Why is that?

• Time Feel is more than “just” playing to a click.
• You have to learn to understand and feel the micro-time
• The micro-time can be in 1/8th notes or in 1/16th notes for rock/pop or soul/funk music. In swing or shuffle feel, the micro-time is the 1/8th or 1/16th triplet

To make the band you are playing in sound really groovy, all the musicians in the band need to feel the same micro time when playing.

Have fun!
