Musicians also have a hard time defining what makes a hook effective
but you know one when you hear it. Keith Richards lick on "Start Me
Up" comes to mind.

Hey John,
I'll agree with you that it is incredibly
difficult to communicate
how swing feels. However, I would say trying to get
a student to
contour a phrase a particular way is just as
difficult.
