I thin I've seen SRV or someone else do it mid-song, but on a pedal steel while singing? She's Wonder Woman!
I saw Townsend have a hissy-fit, screaming at a roadie to get him another axe & to change the string. Me.? Change a string.? Pick up another axe just off stage.? Me.? Sorry, I couldn't reach past my windmill or my ego..!!
That's part of the act..And likely the only guitar she brought to the show..Steel players live in a different world then most people..
Pretty nuts, I hate changing the unwrapped strings! When it’s happened to me I just live with one less string until the song ends, then change it before the next tune (or swap guitars). Luckily she wasn’t playing in a trio, there’d be a whole lot of empty soundscape while changing that string.
Pretty amazing stuff, i couldnt get the packet opened within that time frame never mind changing a string too..
Yeah, I quoted your post. I was saying the video that you posted was what came to mind when the OP mentioned a string change.
I saw jr Brown break a string playing once, his bass player changed it mid song. Jr. never stopped playing.
