    I love your reactions to Ren because (knowing that he learnt from your videos) it's like watching his college music teacher analyse his performance. You know some of the techniques he's implementing because you helped him refine them, and other things he surprises you with an unexpected choice or his own little twist and you get even more excited.

    I've not seen any artist since Bob Dylan who can make every performance of every song sound completely different, while still keeping the integrity of the original. Switching genres to playfully experiment with his vocalizing and phrasing, and not flinching when earlier 'fans' demanded he play each classic as they first appeared on record. Also a master wordsmith, and able to reference and mix multiple styles. Restored my jaded appetite for music after a long, long time. Thanks, Ren.

    What makes this even more amazing, is that it looks like they jumped on a real bus and tried to fit the live play in before the bus reached its final destination, you hear the announcement at the end, and you hear him saying it was really close, I think he maybe missed a tiny bit of the end off because he didn't want it interrupting his performance, so he was trying to time the performance with the speed/distance of the bus journey.

    Thank you for this great reaction! I've appreciated each of your Ren videos very much. I believe you too feel something incredible is happening. Ren is Truly captivating. If you have not already, Chris, PLEASE check out The Big Push. Ren's performances in their live busking videos are fantastic (and the two other guitar-playing vocalists are consistently really very good.) Their harmonics in set pieces like These Shoes Are Made for Walking and Praise You will give you great examples of their vocals. Additionally, the whole band is truly dynamite in their live busking-- on the sidewalk! You won't believe the size of the crowds they draw! For you, I suggest seeing The Big Push performing I Shot The Sheriff as a great first viewing of the band. I am 76 years old and have watched countless Ren videos every single day since I stumbled upon Hi Ren about a month ago. I am mesmerized by Ren's myriad talents, his finely honed skills, and his enormous mental perspective which includes obvious compassion as well as some very helpful messages for mankind. (Can't wait for you to hear The Big Push rendition of I Shot the Sheriff. It's mind-blowing!)

    I feel like the produced and live version of Ren's Genesis is a perfect example of how he adapts his stuff to acoustic so well. It's recognizable, but entirely able to stand on its own without all of the produced content alongside it. It's like he's always thinking in that busking mindset, where he has a second plan for how to effectively do the songs live, rather than just playing the track back.

    Since I became a fan and have been singing along with a Ren, I've noticed some changes in how I sing. My voice is still out of shape from years of not using it enough but I sound better, articulate better & I can hear & see more passion.
    I like what you were saying about his guitar use. I'm nothing like Ren but I can play. I only do so, to enhance and back up my voice.
    I have so many Ren favorites. This is one of them. Especially at the end 😂 I shoot videos of myself regularly, (just to know what I'm sounding like), but I do the same thing as Ren 😄 I'll be like, "ah shoot, I almost got it right"!!!!

    @exert2020 Год назад +1

    This may sound strange but I get a Bob Dylan style of song construction here. In that he writes in a way which let's any listener put their own melodies over the tune. It maybe unconscious. I can take his songs and move them into completely different places by harmonising over it in a different style. It's hard to explain. Bob Dylan once tried to explain it by saying he doesn't always include the melodic parts you expect to hear next...because he doesn't need to...the listener has already formed that in their head. They give you space to form part of the sound yourself.
    Other songs by other artists don't always allow for this because of how they add so many layers to the production. They don't allow the listener to fill in the gaps and contribute.
    I hope that made some kind of sense 😂

      I mainly use the Manley Core for my preamp. I really like it because it has built in compression and limiting!

      @@chrisliepe I see, have you ever used Universal Audio 6176? Just your thoughts and opinion for modern pop/rock/metal vocal style, I have a Heritage Audio HA73 and considering an addition of 6176, thank you
