After putting together a groove with synth chord stabs, a broken house beat, and a samba-ish fretless bass line, I felt that I needed to anchor and stabilize the track. I went to my jazz guitar and after playing some ideas I got a very thin pick and started strumming. It turned the hollow body jazz guitar into a shaker in a way. The sound became percussive and the constant rhythm of the strummed strings provided a pulse that glued the other elements of the track together.
