Editor's Note

The show must go on

For us mortals, the sight of a string breaking free from its confines and heading for the land beyond might at least take us out of our onstage rhythm, out of the zone.

For the professionals to whom we look up though, the show must indeed go on no matter what.

With that in mind, we've assembled a list of 10 notable guitarists who kept their cool and kept on playing after snapping a string mid-song. It's quite a treat (and a learning experience, too) watching them almost defiantly keep going in the face of the unexpected equipment failure. Scroll down and get inspired.
