It's hard to say goodbye to Mike. Great guitar knowledge, honest reviews and an infectious smile. He will be missed by all of us. My prayers for his family and friends.
Well said. I found his channel researching China manufactured guitars. He had a great personality and was a very talented musician. I loved that he liked the band White Lion as I don’t find too many people talking about them. We do have a great guitar community here on TH-cam and I’m very fortunate that we have found each other. We need to continue supporting each other and sharing our passion and be thankful for those that took the first step before we did like Mike did. RIP Mike. 🤘🏽🎸
I never met the man, but he touched me with his amazing charisma and informative videos. My heart hurt when I heard of Mike's passing. He will be missed.
Kudos ,Mike it realy took a very big part of the guitar community and his family,Mike was a kind loving joyviol soul that had a Jois de vivre,always smiling and willing to help all fellow musicians being nubes or profesinol ,May he rest in piece and find out what happened to the Montery strat!Cheers!,brother i and every body that followed CGS feel your heart ache,Cheers!PS Only the good die young!
CGS was one of the first channels I subscribed to on YT. I didn't know him personally but I enjoyed watching his channel and I feel like I learned a lot from him. RIP China Mike, you are sorely missed by your friends, family and fans!
Thanks for this nice memorial for CGS Mike M! Mike showed us all how to be a good natured, respectful human being in the face of anything. I really hope his youtube channel remains so we can remind ourselves of his unique and positive outlook anytime.
Well said. Mike was the 1st channel I subscribed to and that opened me up to the guitar community and because of him my learning of this thing I love the guitar has been beneficial he was one of a kind
I haven't been around much lately, but it's tough seeing you so sad. I didn't know China Mike, but it seems he really was a big part of your life. I'm sorry for your loss.
Wonderful tribute, thank you for this. It's a hard watch, but only because such a wonderful man has been taken from us. I was mostly lurking during the livestreams, but I saw your name most if not every time. I'll rewatch that bell video now, thanks for the reminder, it was a great video when it came out, it's probably even better now. Take (good) care.
Unfortunately, it's not an easy video to find. I thought I had it saved, but apparently not. I just sent an email to Phillip asking him to send a link. I'll pass it on to you as soon as I get it.
