Talk Box Blues
First attempt at recording with the Rocktron Banshee Talk Box. I really liked the backing track that geetargal101 posted, so I grabbed it and through this over it.
A long way off from being Peter Frampton, and it is hard not to choke on the tube sometimes! But in all, the talk box is a cool sound and gets a lot of looks at gigs when I use it.

Does it take much blowing to get going???? You know like trying to suck/blow a mac donalds milkshake.
Great effect!

It doesn't take any blowing at all! i have not tried that on a shake, maybe I should next time.
The guitar plugs into the box, which has an amplifier built in. A tube runs from that up into my mouth, and then I shape the sounds by having the tube in my mouth as I play the guitar.
It is like having a garden hose in there. Maybe that is a good thing, as it shuts me up!
I find sometimes that I get too much in my throat and start to choke on the tube, or that the opening gets blocked by my tongue. Frampton is the master of it. I can occasionally get a few words out with it, but I am a long way from Peter or Joe Walsh. Those guys are awesome.
Thanks for listening everyone.

Just watched the '76 Frampton clip - a few more memories. I wonder who first thought about creating the Talk Box? Ahhh - human inventiveness

In an interview in one of the guitar mags, Joe Walsh claims to have been the first (or one of the first - can't remember which) to have used it, and says that Peter Frampton stole the idea from him and made it famous without so much as a 'thank you'.
