No one likes a show-off?....'cept me. What a pro! Speed picking and speed string changing in the middle of a song.

That was great! Let me tell yall a story about that.We were playing a club one nite in a hell of a thunder storm.In the middle of a song a bolt of lighting hit and all the power went off.Our drummer said what happened and went into a two min. solo.He had the only accoustic intrument on stage.The lights came on and we continued the song .Our crowd thought it was just part of the show.His name was Terry Butram and became the band leader for Tracy Lawerence.How cool was that?

Sarah was pretty crafty about it,...and smooth, alright.
A creative blend of dialogue, extra verses, and extended guitar solos got her out of a tight pinch.
I did notice that it took an excessive number of revolutions of the peg winder to get all of the slack out of the 6th string.
A good deal of time, and unnecessary winding can be saved by pre-cutting whatever strings are prone to break on your guitar, (011, 017, 020p) and have them easily accessible.
I generally pre-cut them two pegs beyond the actual length of the span, and re-package them to put in reserve into a 'quickdraw' holster that I keep handy under the lid of my pak-a-seat.
The 'holster' is simply a plastic pouch from a set of strings, cut away for easy access, and stapled to the inside of the lid. Note that the winder is nearby, and ready to go, too.
If I break a string during a live show, I can be up and running again in under a minute.

One amendment here:
*Don't make the mistake that I made in the beginning.
I also used to pre-hook (1/4") the ends, before re-packaging them.
It's much better to leave them cut straight, and then 'hook' the ends, just before installation, or you'll tangle up the string, and have bleeding fingers before you're re-strung again.

Agree, but it was the 5th (B) string, not the 6th (G#).
I'd make a remark about breaking her G string, but that's too easy.
Great clip. I haven't seen it before. Thanks for posting! |

Posted 9 Sep 2011 5:13 am ....I stand corrected.

Joey's right...5th.
My eyes lied to my brain, and my fingers ratted us all out.
(I prefer 'B'-ing corrected, over 'B'-ing a fool, any day.)
Thanks, Joey.

Sarah is great!
I love that ascending run she kicks into starting about 3:40 or so, and lands it on the IV chord.
Yeah it looked like she barely got a quarter inch of sring thu the peg then went for the long wind. |

If I would break a string the show would be over.  |

Sarah has gone back to a S-10 PSG. I haven't heard her play any C-6 when she had a D-10 guitar.
The German made WBS guitar she is playing now sounds very good.  |
