When changing from chord to chord or to a different way to carry the beat in a song, if you do it subtley or without a lot of notice it can be determined smooth. The hook in a song can be done with a lot of percussion, or hardly noticeable; that would be smooth also. Jimmy Hedrix was a heavy rock musician, and yet he was very smooth in his playing turning chords over delicately to change the mood in a song. Another definition of "smooth" is Legato, which is Italian for smooth, flowing. This term is commonly used in sheet music for a piano.

As marked as in musical scores; 'legato' (Italian) means to play a part or melody smoothly.
