PART ONE (free on YouTube):  Example one  takes a close look at a common sounding repetitive groove which would be generally applied across the styles of Hip-Hop and Dance Rhythm.

PART TWO:  In example two, the beat shifts to the 1950's classics with a Blues-Soul rhythm based upon the swing-shuffle. In this rhythm, the groove operates around an R&B effect composed of tighter shots that include space (rests). 

PART THREE:

In example three, a Progressive Pop progression in the musical direction of bands like; Genesis, XTC or Al Stewart applies an interesting mix of chord shots and filler lines.

The groove is based upon a more complex slightly syncopated rhythm that involves mixing a group of six chords from the key of "E Minor," over a 2-bar riff that includes filler tones.
 
PART FOUR:  Example four heads into the sounds of Adult Contemporary. This category includes the music of easy listening singers - the likes of - Johnny Mathis and Billy Ocean to Ed Sheeran, as well as, highly polished Adult Contemporary groups like; Air Supply, Fleetwood Mac and The Moody Blues.

Example four applies a steady sixteenth-note feel that does not attack the beat of 2 or 4. A tied rhythm off of the final sixteenth of beats one and three eliminates the attack on beats 2 and 4.
