SRV breaks string during "look at little sister" swaps guitars and never misses a note. Got to love it. [/url]

That's really cool. Didn't even blink. I get more flustered than that when everything's going fine. :shock:

Rene Martinez(Stevie's tech )was brilliant and always Johnny on the spot and we all know by now that Stevie was slicker than greased whale 5hit. A guitarist of his calibre wasn't phased by anything.

He worked for Charlie (he made the strat with the lipstick pups) then Stevie hired him after Charlie passed away.

Yep - as we saw recently, Slash could have done with Rene's services:

At least he recovered it well. Security needs to get better. We don't need another incident like dimebag Darrell.

I have my Dad... Not quite in the Rene Martinez league, but still quite good. ;)

That video has always amazed me. He missed what, two notes?
