If you load a groovy song in Audacity you should be able to see these inter-note delays.
Another factor that affects rhythm is note duration relative to the tempo -- you'll want to measure that too.

I suspect if you study a few groovy songs you'll find there's just a slightly different note grid that's common to these songs (there could be more than one grid!) Teaching this grid (rather than teaching one specific song) will help the student learn to shift notes away from the the mathematical metronome placement. This skill will equip many of them to mimic the feel of their favorite artist by ear.
At 60 BPM, mathematical quarter notes are 1000ms apart. But in a pocket groove, you may notice that every other quarter note is "late", or "swung":
