Sorry to hear that. I remember enjoying some of his pickup and bass reviews some years ago. My condolences to you and his family. RIP.

Jeez what a shame. I learned so much from his videos and he truly cared about bass, the music and his audience. Great guy

He was great, this is terrible. RIP.

He fought stage 4 cancer for 3 years.
I honestly think He was the most talented and knowledgeable rock bassist on the planet.

This was us after to playing the JT Bass Jam at JT Schmidt’s at NAMM

RIP Rodney McG! His YouTube channel was one the few quality channels and bright lights in this new era of AI and other poor quality content on YouTube. He, his content, and his incredible bass playing will be sorely missed!

Groove on McG, you are already missed.

 

[birminghambass]

Oh man this sucks. Rock on brother.

 

[CalEliteCoach]

I definitely learned a lot from his YouTube videos.

 

[StevieMac]

I took lessons from Rodney for 15 months and he was by far the best music teacher I ever had, and more importantly he was just a really great dude in every way.

I'm at a loss for words, I will miss that dude for the rest of my days.

Just saw on YouTube. I had no idea he passed away. We talked several times on his channel.Such a nice fellow and incredible spirit working through his illness. Kindest thoughts to his family.

Take care all.

Brent, He was also super generous, we gave each other gear and was like “Oh you need to try this…ect…”

I use to tell him was like Gimli from LoTR. Grumpy pants, but with a heart…He always had some razor sarcastic comment back to try to shut me up and would say “well, I am Scottish…” lol

He was unique in the music scene, a breath of fresh air and my friend.
