How-U-Groove

[Davidoc]

In my Jazz band, I stay with the drums, I'm sure I would with my punk band; we're getting a drummer soon.

I lock in with the lead kazoo.

How do I groove? Well from those options, I fit none Other than play wiTh lead instrument. I don't play with lead instrument....



I AM THE LEAD INSTRUMENT... HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Actually I pretty much play lead. Like 85% of the time

When I play I tend to stay with the drums and either stay with the tempo or play faster, but staying in the pocket. Usually I'll get a solid line down and then I'll jam off of it according to what everyone else in the band is doing. If the guitarist is in a solo, then i'll quiet down, but if noting particular is happening then i'll throw in variations and experiment to see what i can make up and if it sounds decent.

What's the pocket and how do you groove to it?

man, that question is almost as hard to answer (if not more ) as the "If a tree falls in the woods ..." thing !

I am a bit of a weaver. Sometimes, I am with the drummer locked-in together tightly - sometimes I am with the rhythm guitar, sometimes I am playing a counter-melody/ harmony with the lead guitar, sometimes I am doing my own thing - and this could all be in the same song. I weave in and out like a butterfly... always conscious that I need to be weaving into the fabric of the song, and not tearing the song apart with noise. I suppose it depends very much on the style and the song.
