[quote name='Pete Academy' post='950913' date='Sep 9 2010, 06:36 PM']I read an article in BP magazine some time ago, where the player said that the groove you play has an hypnotic effect on the audience. I think this is true. To me, it's all about the groove, and the groove is what keeps the audience's attention. If you lose that, you're not doing your job. The song is the most important thing, regardless of what you play, and how much you improvise. The song is king. You have to make the singer and the song sound as good as possible.[/quote]Well said Pete.
As a bass player, the groove is your High Priest.
