xirdneH_imiJ -> This could happen to you (Nov. 30 2012 2:06:37)

Conclusion first: always have spare strings with you! I played a gig today with 3 sets, in the middle of the whole thing my D string popped at the 4th fret (which is quite strange as it usually snaps near the bridge)...i was with a singer, a dancer, a cajón player, many falsetas, many important D chords, trying to find ways to skip it was not an option...and damn i had no spare D string because i had used my spare D already and the sets i ordered im picking up tomorrow... after the break we had to do guajiras and bulerías capo 1, so what i did was put my spare A string on, tuned it way up, i could get it as high up as B, then it popped...fortunately i could use it again, so i didn't take chances and i let it settle at Bb, and tuned all the other strings way down, capoed 4 and we finished the gig...my guitar sounded quite ****ty, but it was adequate for the purpose...
