Ok. So BB King breaks a guitar string...

...and re-strings his guitar while singing the danged song. And he kills the song.

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

These guys must've never stopped playing!

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?

He had more than one 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.
