So, we did the latest gig at the birthday party of our second guitarist (he reached the 50).
After the meal the dj was heating up the guests (Who the hell plays "We will rock you" at the beginning of an evening???), so we decided not to start with our standard opener ("throw down the sword" of Wishbone Ash), but with some faster number. I hit the strings for the first chord....zong, the d-string was broken. Perfect start :o I went on through the song on 5 strings.
Now the problem: I had 3 e-guitars with me but only one stage-western guitar with build in pickups. And on this the string was broken. So we decided to play one song on the e-guitar, and then we had a break in which the dj played one song. After changing the string all things went right. The guest found the "string thing" just funny and were happy with our songs. After 90 minutes we ended with giving our first autographs :cool:
So after all, we were happy after the gig...
