In November 1989, during a live show at Austin City Limits in Austin, Texas, Stevie Ray Vaughan broke a string mid-solo while playing “Look at Little Sister.” Without stopping, he kept the solo going, adapting to the broken string. His guitar tech, Rene Martinez, quickly grabbed a backup Stratocaster and swapped it with the damaged one during a brief pause in the song. The switch was so fast and smooth—done in seconds—that it’s been called the “Formula 1 of guitar changes.”

Haha, funny that I'm currently listening to some rediscovered old records of Souled American who could probably switch instruments anywhere in any song anytime without anybody noticing.

I've looked at a bunch of "Souled American" tracks and videos and I have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
If you say you have some education in American music, and you don't know SRV, I can't say that your recommendation carries any weight at all.
Sorry I guess my joke wasn't very good. Souled American's music is so extremely slow and has so many natural pauses that there would be no need to hurry when changing instruments.

That makes more sense...
I was trying to figure out how that slow folk music was being compared to rock...
Thank you for explaining it.
