    Sad. A great player and a great teacher - a rare combination.

    Only just watched a couple of his videos this weekend. The latest being him reviewing his own new "valley arts" guitar. You could tell he was as happy as to play that thing! A sad loss.

    WTF?  Seen him play dozens of times in one of the local covers bands around here.  Incredible player.
    Crap news.

    That's really sad. He came across really well in interviews and demos. Jeff Beck-ian whammy action if I recall. RIP

    That's really sad.

    In the last 2 months I'd had some FB chats & PMs with him about setting up guitars, trems etc and he'd been really helpful and passed on details of his repairer and supplier of materials.

    Seemed like a really good, kind guy and of course, a wonderful player. No one did Beck or Lukather better and it had become a part of his style and sound.

    R.I.P. and this seems fitting and it's Mike playing

    Really sad. I met him briefly a month or two ago as I think he was about to start teaching at ICMP. He was being shown around and walked in on one of my band rehearsals. Seemed like a lovely bloke.
