A description of the “groove” in music.
There are many elements to the music which we listen to everyday. This includes the lyrics and the melodies which we listen to with the music. However one that is less commonly know is referred to as the groove or beat of the music.
The groove (also called the bass) can be made of two things.This can either beat a series of notes played in a repeated pattern or as drum beat. This is what makes many songs memorable to the listener, and it is often the part of the song which many people want to share with others. When it is a series of notes, the groove can be played by many instruments from the bass guitar to the piano. It is also often complemented by the chords of a song. The root of the chord normally follows the bass note that is being played and is often noted by the letter above written music.

If the groove is right, the music is right. The groove plays the biggest part in good music.
