SRV and double trouble were lent studio time by Jackson Browne to record their first album. But they had to make quick time of it. When recording Voodoo Chile, Vaughan's string broke during recording. So instead is starting over they just overdubbed a second guitar take at the time of the string break. Can you tell at what mark the two takes were spliced
together?

For fun, name some other recording quirks.

During the intro of Wish You Were Here, there is an audible "hack" or cough by David Gilmour. He didn't realize he had done it until he heard it on the playback. He had it left in to remind himself to quit smoking (or stay quit).

Zeppelin - Black Country Woman.

They roll tape and catch the humm of an airplane engine high above. There's a little convo about editing the airplane noise out. Sounds like Plant that says "nah, yea, leave it." Always liked that.

Bruce Springsteen - New York Serenade

the first 16 seconds of the song is Roy strumming the piano strings. at 16 you can hear him get down from standing on the chair and sit down to start playing the piano.

If you listen really closely at the beginning of "The Chain"...somebody drops an F-bomb.

1:50 mark where he's bending the B string a whole step into pitch. Interesting that I've never caught that when I've listened to this song so many times and have tried my best to imitate his version live.
