[@chugga]

It's been wonderful being with this channel since around the time it started! I wish you luck in the original music you plan on writing and performing down the line! It is sad to see this project come to an end, but it's happy news that you won't cease making music.

[@wilytw]

I REALLy wish i had found out about this channel earlier, this is AMAZING!

[@Tsung5]

emile I want to thank you for using CSGuitar's content in your videos because you've turned me onto some really great music. I love this channel so much and it's my entire inspiration for learning guitar.

[@AlfonsoSRT]

Oh, lol hey Chugga, I forgot you used his music on your videos at times.

[@CSGuitar89]

Thanks, Emile! I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate the fact that you have been a long time follower and that you keep coming back to this channel. It’s pretty safe to say that if it weren’t for you, not only my channel but also me as a person and musician, would’t be where I am at today. The fact that you chose to feature some of my work in your videos is still very humbling and has helped me in more ways than you can imagine. Thanks again for all the support over the years.

[@karmaz35]

+CSGuitar89 I have to say that is a beautiful way to end an amazing channel. I've been watching your channel since Chugga first used one of your covers and I've been trying to keep up with it since, in fact that was before I even had a KZbin account.

[@sbeast64]

One era ends, another begins. Great medley man!

[@quinnchillai2406]

I think we can all agree that this was perfect for a send off, the Super Mario 64 bit gave me chills. It was my first owned video game and holds a special place in my heart like many games. CSGuitar89, thank you for the immense covers, you have real talent and I hope you go the distance with your original material.

[@Cloud-ho4lk]

still listening in 2022 :D i really love these covers!!!

[@NavissEtpmocia]

I've been following you since 5 years now, and just discovered that you stopped this channel... it's sad, but at least you're not stopping music! I wish you good luck with your projects!

[@ASTobus]

Not sure if I should smile or cry, but thank you for this amazing journey!

[@CaptainPsychopath69]

gonna miss your covers, but it's been one hell of a ride

[@link4356]

We Will Miss You Man But We Are All Happy At The Same Time Good Luck In Ur Future Thank You For Everything You Are An Icon In Manys Eyes We Will Miss You

[@dcjbunlimited]

Hope you do well with your future projects and wherever you go in life. Your videos/tabs/mp3s are a lot of what helped me learn to play guitar better. Way back when before I lost my inspiration, I would sit and listen to your songs and medleys for hours on end. Through you and the recommended is how I found those I've tried to stay active with like FamilyJules7x and ArtificialFear. You 3 are what kept me playing when I started. I really hope life goes well for you. And thank you so much for the music and inspiration.

[@shinjanaytor]

Thank you so much for all the amazing music you have created over the years. I've been listening to your covers since 2010 and I will greatly miss seeing videos from you. Although it's sad to see you go, I wish you luck in the future of your career!

[@baileyann4985]

Man bro...I'm gonna miss you like heck 😭 YOU ARE JUST...AWESOME. This was like the ending to a REALLY good anime. You ended this PERFECTLY and I didn't even notice I had tears in my eyes. THANK YOU.

[@CringelordJen]

As much as I love your videos, I can't help but feel happy that you're moving on to do something else. Good luck to you and your next adventure

[@Razec__]

Amazing work and thanks for all the covers you have made over this years. Can't wait to see what you are working on next.

[@DisturbedShad0w]

One hell of a sendoff! Good luck on future endeavors! I'm looking forward to your original material. :)

[@tekenator]

Absolutely perfect! I am so sad to see you go but I have enjoyed your videos for a long time and have enjoyed the personal touches you have given to the music that shaped my childhood. Good luck in the future!

[@OttotheOtter97]

Damn! Sad to see one of my original inspirations go but I'm happy to see you moving on to even more exciting things! Good luck in the future man :)

[@rasmus15951]

so, you are alive? :O

[@HaruVibes_]

Such a perfect send off. Phenomenal work as always dude!

[@imanthonyjames]

Damn bro. I remember I actually gave you the advice to record the song of healing sooo long ago and you actually covered it. My old account was Zelum1. So sad to see you go but I'm really looking forward to your new stuff. We'll be seeing you!

[@TyrantoftheAbyss]

What is The New Channel?

[@FamilyJules7X]

Well this is awkward, (pushes own credits medley under the carpet)... Also, looking forward to your brighter future on greater endeavors. Love ya, man.

[@CSGuitar89]

Haha, dude, you have nothing to worry about! I remember seeing something on your page about your upcoming video a couple of days before and being like 'shit, my final upload is totally going to be overshadowed...' I know your medley is gong to be epic as always. Honestly, I am weirdly impressed with myself that I was able to get it done before you uploaded yours knowing how incredibly long I always take to upload something ;)

[@castertroy6347]

Hey Jules, thank you for mentioning this channel. Much appreciated. Awesome Medley CSG!

[@DSC24]

You were the biggest inspiration for me to start making my own videos. Very fitting way to end your VG run. You deserve like the KZbin equivalent of the oscar honourary award.

[@guitarist6494]

14:35 them feels when he hangs up the guitar for last time for this channel 😱😭

[@castertroy6347]

Is there a new channel?

[@GemCityRCOutlaws]

Is there a new channel?!

[@DannLink]

This is the end of an era on this community, you and Jules are my main inspirations and for many others VGM I had some tears because this is your last VG work, thanks for everything and so excited to hear your own work :) And damn this is by far my favorite work from you, what a way to leave :')

[@RoPanuganti]

Amazing medley of so many tunes, really like how well these credit songs fit together! I'm filled with emotions 0_0 at this being your last VG song.

[@JSkeleton]

Dang bro . . . What a way to end it! Not gonna lie, it's gonna suck a ton. Your game covers are my fave! I have your version of Song of Storms as my phone's ringtone! But I can respect the ambition to want to do something original, and not covers. Thanks for all these amazing videos man :) Hope you'll still be active posting your original work, so we can still enjoy your talents! All the best brother!

[@guitarist6494]

This is going to be the best 15 mins of my year

[@guitarist6494]

Can confirm, was the best 15 mins of my year

[@michaelmac0]

The end of an era. Can't wait to hear some of your original tracks!

[@ArnyUnderCover]

A perfect end for a perfect channel :)

[@2Shiba]

I first got to know him by his cover of Legend of Zelda's Overworld theme. That cover came back to my memory for some reason and I checked his channel. This man actually wrapped up his whole career of music covers by making the one last cover of CREDIT medley What an absolute legend

[@MrStevendrums]

It's been an amazing journey through the years Casper! Thank you for all the videos, and good luck in the future!

[@Cyynapse]

this is crazy. i used to watch you when i was like 8 years old! you introduced me to metal and now, 10 years later i just got my first electric! thanks for the memories my dude!

[@PSIRockOmega]

Only crying a little bit. It's gonna be hard to find any covers quite as good as these. Looking forward to your original stuff!

[@sagerz6509]

Why would you do this to us casper!!! Tears are hitting my carpet! Best of luck in your career! we know you can do it! D':

[@sayonara785]

Thank You For Everything Youve Inspired Me So Much Without Seeing Your Zoras Domain Video I Would Have Never Ever Gotten Into Doing Guitar It May Be Sad That Your Leaving This Channel But I Know You Have A Big Future Ahead Of You I Want To Wish You Good Luck And Say Thank You For Everything

[@KristellaJackson]

Eh, hey CSGuitar89, do you also make rock covers of non-video game songs? If so, can you make one out of "Still Here" by Digital Daggers please?

[@1234TheKing123411]

Casper, I'm sure you don't remember me but you have been a huge influence to me. Over 6 years ago I reached out to you asking for recording advice as your covers had the absolute best sound quality I have ever heard on KZbin at the time. Your covers, guitar style, and extreme generosity with your tabs and line 6 effects from over the years have kept me motivated in my playing. You were one of if not the first video game cover guitarist I have seen on KZbin and to this day are hands down still the best. Thank you for years of amazing content and music. I wish you the absolute best with all you future music projects. -Adam

[@ChristianRichardson]

Mario Galaxy credits made me cry a little

[@shadowheartless9]

amazing as always, im sad to see you go, but good luck to you sir. and thank you for all youve given to the fans. youre the one who inspired me to go out an get my first guitar. so i thank you from tbe bottom.of my heart.

[@Eichro]

Gonna miss the VG covers, but looking forward to hear your original stuff!

[@Guantlet77]

I cant even, Ill miss your covers man. Good luck on your original work regardless!

[@CrysisMusic]

The end and the beginning at the same time. I remember when I started guitar I saw ur he's a pirate and knew I had to learn it. Was one of the first songs I learned all the way through. God that must be 5 years ago now. Looking forward to new stuff

[@julenissen44]

first?

[@davekeehl]

amazing work Casper! :) it's been a pleasure watching your video game covers :)

[@goldenespada7597]

This was an amazing guitar cover. Extremely creative for a final video, and I would also like to point out that I could see improvement in your skill as a guitarist (I didn't know you could get any better..) The finger-work (most appropriate word I could think of, lmao) on the V1005SP was pretty damn great as well! I know it is unnecessary to praise you on your skills as a guitarist at this point in time, but you are more than worthy with skills such as yours. Thanks a million for posting the tabs and mp3s for free. I wish you lots of fortune and success with your musical career to come. Kudos!

[@Pattamatt1998]

Amazing cover! Thanks for all the music over the years!

[@3rdreflection]

We're gonna miss you man! Thanks for everything

[@MaximumGuitar]

Incredible medley. We owe you everything! Can't wait to see what you do next with your music career!

[@BillyQvarnstrom]

A fantastic final video! Thank you so much for this time, Casper - you've always been my favorite VGM cover artist, and if it weren't for you (and your Ocarina of Time Battle theme in particular) I likely wouldn't ever have gotten started with covers. But I did, and I'm having the time of my life. Can't wait to see the original music you'll be writing in the future

[@GJCurlyJefferson]

BillyTheBard11th Feeling a bit emotional over the sudden loss of this fine channel, looked at your vids in desperation. Holy. So impressive. You've filled a a void on my internet soul that's been empty for about 5 mins. (I understand how this comment may look hell suss, I can assure anyone reading that I do not know this man hahah)

[@BillyQvarnstrom]

Very glad to hear that, bro! Caspers level is something I've strived for so far and likely something I'll continue to strive for a long time - super cool that I could suffice at a time like this!~

[@CSGuitar89]

Thanks, man! That really means a lot to me. Being able to motivate or even inspire others to record their own music, is one of the biggest compliments in my book. I see you’ve been doing quite an incredible job with your own channel! I just enjoyed some of those Doom covers you’ve done. Pretty freaking brutal stuff… I love it :) Keep up the great work!

[@BillyQvarnstrom]

CSGuitar89 I'm honored that you checked them out, and I'm amazed that you enjoyed them, haha! Warms my heart to hear that! :)

[@LegendOfGroose]

You've been a huge inspiration to all of us here, we appreciate and love the hell out of you! Thanks for all your work the past years making really fun tracks to listen to. It's weird saying goodbye cause I'm also really looking forward to the original music too. Good luck in all your endeavors, man.

[@Fam0usspeakerr]

Nice shirt.

[@MeatNinja]

This is amazing. Thanks for all your work man!

[@GANONdork123]

amazing work! Can't wait to hear your original songs.

[@invark]

Ocarina of Time's Credits sounds like Harvest Moon 64's Intro

[@Dinnick3rd]

It's sad to know that this is the end, after 7 years. Thanks for everything, you inspired me alot!!

[@duncanchillake8024]

Ahh, where are you man, we missed you channel

[@OnyxFire408]

You were and still are a big memory in my childhood, especially thanks to Chuggaaconroy for linking me to your channel. I wish you the best in your advesnture. You should go to Europe, its nice there

[@brycemase]

Good stuff, man. Sad to see it end. Thanks for all the wonderful music you provided that played in the background of some of my favorite memories. Excited to see where you go from here.

[@DMerk2012]

So happy you finally got Metroid into your covers! I'm definitely gonna miss these but I'm super excited for your original content

[@ProjectGenesisMusic]

I some how only found you years after becoming part of the vgm community. While I cant say you were an inspiration to me, your tone tutorials helped me a lot and I am thankful for you being a pioneer for the community and the inspiration you gave to all my friends. Time to make your intro into a full song!

[@gabocarina96]

I got filled with emotions when you it that final chord... knowing it was the last final chord I would see you do on this channel! 0_0 ......... Thanks once again for everything man and for the awesome VG covers you made over the years..!!

[@trolllesupersayen9704]

The best one is at the end of the video. A wonderfull 15 minutes to spent! Thank you for all your work Casper!

[@girhen]

When I first loaded the video and looked at the time, I asked myself, "It's 15 minutes, do I want to see this now? Wait...CSGuitar89's last video...YEAH." Worth it, even if it's now past 7 and I haven't eaten. It's been a great run, the community will miss your VG covers. Looking forward to the originals and whatnot. So long, and thanks for all the fish. BTW, are the songs out of order? DK64 seems to be at 5:30, waaaay before Portal comes up at 8:30. There are a few games I haven't played or haven't played in so long in between...

[@Medz98194]

Dude, this was absolutely perfect. Super sad to see you go, but I'm also excited to see what you do next! Thank you for everything you've done by helping kickstart the entire VGM community, whether intentional or unintentional! You've inspired so many, including myself. You will be severely missed, but always looked fondly upon within the community!

[@bostonian11]

Mario 64 + MarioKart 64 - I teared up a bit. Your Stone Tower Theme cover resulted in you being the first KZbin artist I ever donated money to (and the personalized thank-you note in the mail was a nice touch). Certainly going to miss your channel, but best of luck with your next project!

[@CubanLegend561]

OMG, them feels. The SM64 theme, the awesomeness of the Metroid Prime theme, the OoT staff roll, and then the Feels during Portal 1 and 2, and then the ultimate feels train hits with the Mario Kart staff roll.... OMG I'm gonna miss these. So glad you have them up for DL on your website. Thank you for all these years!

[@mexicanmaggot666]

Ever since day one of hearing your music, I get the same chills down my spine. Your work is amazing and I'm sad I came across this too late to bid farewell to this era of CSGuitar89, but hey! Let's bring some original music in here!! If you ever need a drummer for a collaboration, I'd love to work with you! Have a blast and I'll be waiting for your new channel!!

[@AlphaDaArtist]

I'm gonna miss your game covers, but I'm looking forward to hearing your new, original pieces in the future. Thanks for making awesome covers, CSGuitar~! They have been so wonderful to listen to : D !

[@glilui]

Great medley! This channel was the first VG metal cover channel I ever followed. You really opened my ears to the creativity in covering songs, especially ones our generation grew up with. Thanks for that. I'm excited for your future. Merry Christmas. 🎁🎄

[@N0tsaved]

Oh god I started crying when super Mario 64 started. You made it so perfectly soothing, like how I've wanted to hear it. Thank you for all the wonderful music you gave us, man. Good luck on all your future endeavors. :'3

[@XaleManix]

I can't wait to see what comes next in your musical journey, Casper. Best wishes from the slightly bottom left of nowhere, United States. P.S. the link to your site appears to be broken. Edit: Spelling corrected.

[@Sinister_Cid]

Aww damn.... this is so emotional man. I've loved ur content for like 3 or 4 years now? This was amazing and that ending hit me in the feels XD Also for the description you mixed up some songs around donkey kong 64 and luigi's mansion :P

[@bboynoe]

Jumping out of the shadows to say beautiful job, farewell sort of, and good luck on your new endeavors. Thanks for showing me that VG covers could be made with professional quality and being an influence on stepping my game up. All the best Casper.

[@CSGuitar89]

Thanks for all the support and kind words, Noe I really appreciate it. I understand you’re going through some difficult times at the moment but please know that the video game cover community has your back! If you ever feel like just hanging out and talk about music and video games, please feel free to hit me up on Skype!

[@4DR14NG4M3R]

I'll never forget when I discovered your gusty garden galaxy cover. It was so wonderful Its still one of my favorite VG cover of my life, thanks for all your amazing covers and I hope your new OG songs will be as great as this :)

[@JoJoHebadubus]

Wow, I'm actually going to miss your work, your channel and you. I started playing guitar three years ago, mainly after seeing some of your Zelda song covers and decided I wanted to play them myself. Thanks for all the tabs and videos over the years, good luck with the future!

[@knightofservia]

Don't know if you will ever read this, but I was a fan before I made a KZbin channel. Only just found out you retired from making game covers for bigger and brighter things. Just wanted to say thank you for all that you've done. Your music meant and still means a lot to me. Good luck man.

[@Trientia]

Thank you for all you've done during your time on this channel. I wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors! Can't wait to hear what comes next.

[@dylanhardina]

This was the perfect way to end your time as a VG soundtrack artist. I'm glad you could do this for so long, and look forward to hearing your original pieces. Keep on rocking CS. \m/

[@MrPhinman25]

Thank you for all of the music you brought to KZbin. You were the first of many and I probably wouldn't have found this community of amazing performers without your influence. Thank you for the many years of entertainment and I wish you luck with the future. I hope to hear your original compositions soon.

[@bacca4813]

Well, might I just say: THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL,OMG! ;-; That was the best way to end a channel ever.

[@derula]

This is like when Nintendo had a Club Nintendo reward when that program was ending that was a collection of Game Over themes from Nintendo games. Just thinking about the symbolism made me cry.

[@lostwoodart3301]

thanks for your time and dedication to this channel and all the great covers you did!

[@Wildchildinc]

Thank you for the years of providing awesome covers! Your videos played a huge influence on me to get better at guitar when I was still a beginner many years ago. Good luck on your future endeavors!

[@matthewsmith9553]

What a way to end a KZbin channel. Amazing job! I look forward to see what is next for you. Thanks for the amazing video game music!

[@MajorBruno]

Man, that was a hell of a sendoff. Thank you for all the amazing contributions over the years! Looking forward to seeing where you go next.

[@Moola868]

Is this your last cover song ever, or your last cover son for the time being, because if you hear or think of a video game theme and think "hmm, that would make a good guitar cover", I don't think anyone would mind you coming back and making more.

[@majorastorm]

Ganon won.. CSGUITAR89 had entered a slumber.. The ancient prophecy says that one day he'll Awaken

[@KrimsonSpeed]

Thank you so much for all your hard work with these songs and videos CSGuitar89! You have some of my favorite songs in the world to play!

[@pichuflash2769]

Your videos have inspired me to learn how to play the electric guitar. I just got a classic gibson guitar a few days ago, and I am going to start taking lessons in a week or so. Best of luck in your future endeavors, this channel was really something special.

[@Fabriziofilms]

Mario kart 64 credits theme, thats what I wanted in Jules video but yours was flawless, thank YOU for playing

[@donaldthescotishtwin]

Still can't get over you quitting, Hope too see that you land a record deal in the near future.

[@GJCurlyJefferson]

What a great way to end things here! Impressed as always, I've had an album of your mp3s on my phone for years now. Wish you all the best mate, and excited to see what the future holds for you. Love ya

[@MEGACHEESE100]

Like a lot of others your work on this channel inspired me to get better at guitar and music as a whole and for that I'm extremely grateful. I can't wait to see your original works soon, I'm certain they'll inspire me to push myself even harder as a musician.

[@kungfusaini]

Perfect way to move on to your next adventure. Amazing piece. Thanks for all the awesome music over the years. I wish you every bit of luck in the future

[@RedheadButNotReally]

The man that first got me interested in video game guitar covers. Thanks for the memories dude, can't wait to hear your original works. ^_^

[@Shadow_Lifeman]

What a way to go out. Excellent! Very sad that this is the end, but I am looking forward to your future original stuff.

[@lehockilife]

This channel was a huge part of my life, i still watch the videos frequently. Best of luck on your future endeavours!!

[@valery9306]

does not let me see your tabs tells me that your page no longer exists :(

[@gloriana13]

RIP 😔

[@MertenNor]

just remembered your channel from watching some other VGM Covers.. you deserve Way more Views! and Hope you are doing well with whatever you are doing these days :)

[@GordonTheSheep]

That was amazing, especially the Mario Kart 64 credits, sounded just astounding.

[@samgittleman9418]

Oh and just noticing the new studio/room your recording in. It look pretty nice by the way.
