Now that's a great example of "The show must go on" and "Grace under pressure". His most important string breaks in the middle of a huge solo!

I have always wanted to learn the intro to "Crazy On You" by Heart on my guitar. It seems impossible, but I am up for a challenge. Then I found this lesson of Nancy Wilson teaching the intro on YouTube! Now I am even more determined! If I ever get it down I will post me doing it!
