don't have time to watch the vid right now but another master of pulling this feat off was Richie Havens.

I am a total BB King fan, but replacing a string during a performance is not that terribly difficult and many performers do it.

Rory Gallagher did it, and he played in a friggin’ trio...not so easy to vamp then.

I've never seen it in maybe 400 hundred concerts. Kudos to those cats.

It's easier to have a back up guitar tuned up and ready to go.

But would that guitar be Lucille?

Stevie Ray Vaughn once had a fully strung guitar lowered over his head while he was playing so he could swap out the one he totally destroyed in the first part of a solo.
