blue in green solo playing break down (inspired by tony miceli and gary burton's lesson)

Hey
This is a series of videos demonstrating some exercises for Tony's lesson trying to play solo vibes. I also got inspired from Gary burton's lesson so I broke my practise into little things. Remember these are just exercises and not the final thing.

video 1: play lines and the left hit at beat 1 always with the line
video 2: play lines and the left hand its on one and three
video 3: play lines and the left hand hits chords on one beat
videos 4: play lines and the left hand hit chords on one and three
video 5: a guitar approach to the vibes

Time - Mallet Duo + Singer (Tom Waits) w/ Hauke Renken

Hey Guys,

This is a video of my mallet duo M-DUR and my good friend singer TOMKO FAHNSTER playing the tune TIME by TOM WAITS.

voc - Tomko Fahnster
vib - Hauke Renken
mar - Patrick Stapleton

Patrick and me played a few gigs this summer, most of the time in churches in the north of Germany, and we had this new song on our setlist. For us it was often the highlight of the evening. So much fun to play!!! :)

What do you think? Thanks for some comments and critics! :)

Hauke
