First Time Seeing | Peter Frampton | Do You Feel Like We Do | 3 Generation Reaction

[@christophermollan1684]

The "straw" is called a "talk box" and is hooked to his guitar...Groundbreaking and mind blowing at the time!!!!!!!!

[@DAVYMAC]

Christopher, true statement from you, brother! Hugh hit for my classmates and I !!

[@williamvitkovitch8591]

Its called a vocoder, but yes 'talkbox' is also commonly used! It modulates the sound of the instument (guitar in this case) depending on how strongly or softly you blow down the tube! : )

[@AnneBiebrich]

It's called a "talk box"...Peter Frampton perfected it !

[@1satisfiedmind]

All the girls loved Peter. Every girl had his poster. All the guys had his record.

Frampton was the Master of the talk box🤘🏻

[@margaretdavis3030]

Joe Walsh got serious mileage out of it too.

[@johnmassung]

So did Roger Troutman of "Zapp" fame. Jeff Beck had a stab at it, too.

When he hits that talkbox Grandma smiled while the other two were flummoxed LOL

Peter Frampton is still going. He’s 74 years old now. His long head of hair is now short and grey. He is an immensely talented guitar player, and he has a great stage presence.

[@raybernal6829]

He's retiring this year as his back is causing him major issues.

FRAMPTON,'s live album was everywhere. Play it too loud all the time!!! Y'all are all too cute ...🎉

his "poofy" hair was mostly during Sgt Pepper movie & a bit after.. for a while Frampton looked like a blonde version of Redheaded Singer-Violinist Robbie Steinhardt of Kansas

In the summer of 1977 Frampton Comes Alive was blaring out of EVERY car, at every beach and park, nightclubs, concerts for the rest of the year into summer of 1978. Don’t think that ever happened with any other album.

[@jeffreyflint6286]

The look on your face Cathy when he started using the talk box on tgmhe guitar was priceless. Invented in the early sixties if I recall properly.

[@JohnCiaschini]

It's a talk box or voice box that plugs into his guitar and Amp attached to the microphone. Peter Frampton is a Master talent with this device not to mention his guitar skills. Some people say that this is what inspired auto-tune. This performance is about 20 years before auto-tune came into existence. I love too watch the young generation react to the talk box. ❤ your reaction!

[@jeffreyflint6286]

@JohnCiaschini yes it does. I got into it in the mid to late sixties with Pete Drakes album. I love using mine but, I ain't Peter lol.

[@brheinfeldt]

What Peter is using is called a TALK BOX by Bob Heil. On the floor is the electronic box that the guitar is plugged into. Also plugged into the top of this box is a plastic tube that is clamped along the microphone stand. You put the end of this tube in your mouth. You can charge the sound waves the guitar makes by changing the shape of your mouth, thereby making the guitar able to talk. Joe Walsh of The James Gang/The Eagles uses a Talk Box, and so does Joe Perry of Aerosmith and Ritchie Sambora from Bon Jovi. It's a really cool effect!!&!

Welcome back Lulu 👏

[@Nothing-zw3yd]

In 1996 I was worked at a Frampton/Foreigner/REO Speedwagon concert, and I got to sit on the edge of the stage in front of Peter while he did his soundcheck. A security guy tried to get me to move, but Peter told him that it was ok. What a great experience. We talked a little backstage after his set, and I hung out with his bass player for an hour or so after talking music and drinking a few beers. It was a great day, and I got paid for it!

That tube in his mouth is called a talk box its somehow connected to his guitar and when he sings or talks it get amplified......way cool at the time......

Mr. Fancy Pants - LOL! "Frampton Comes Alive? Everybody in the world had Frampton Comes Alive. If you lived in the suburbs you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of Tide!" ~ Wayne Campbell (in Wayne's World 2).

[@DelmarLarue]

The Talk Box has a small speaker in a box that is enclosed, with a hose running from it. The Guitarists put the hose in his mouth and the sound from the guitar comes through the hose and he mouths and sings words, giving it the "Talking Guitar" sound. I saw Peter Frampton do this LIVE back when it was released and he was on World Tour. This song was everywhere and extremely popular at the time. He always did the same performance of the song and it was amazing. At the time, most Rock and Roll people had never heard anything like it. One of the first people to use the Talk Box in mainstream music was Pete Drake, a Country Music Steel Guitarist. Look up the video of Pete playing the Talking Steel Guitar in the song "Forever". That was in the very late 50's I believe.

[@ledzepgirlnmful]

It was wonderful to see Peter Frampton live in concert... Peter is being inducted into The Rock Hall of Fame this Fall... he should've been in much earlier... Great music, and Great stories!!❤❤❤❤🎸🎙🔥🔥🔥🔥

OH YES !! Frampton Comes Alive. .. was his break out album. Fantastic. ... Do You Feel Like We Do ..I have heard others use the Talk Box but I think this is the best of all. That mischievous playful look and hair, The girls sure did like him.There is a longer version from the same concert as Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd Oakland Colosseum 1977.

You'll see / hear Richie Sambora playing the talk box on live versions of the Bon Jovi song "Livin' On a Prayer"

[@coot1925]

The switch on the guitar is for selecting pick-ups (the rectangular silvery things under the strings). Gibson, Les Pauls like the one he's playing have the switch at the top, Fender, Stratocasters have the switch below. If a guitar only has one pick-up it doesn't need a selector switch. Different pick-ups has different frequency sensitivities & can be set up with different tones such as a mellow blues sound or a harsh rock sound. Then you've got the effects peddles which are a whole different subject.

[@montag4516]

It's funny that they said they don't really know anything about guitars yet for some of us we don't know about much of anything else other than guitars 🎸 🎸 🎸 🔥.

[@coot1925]

@@gman7495 To be honest I didn't take much notice of the guitar, but it's not unusual for guitarists to customise their guitars. I'm no connoisseur of guitars but have played a couple of 3 pick-up les Paul's. Beautiful tones. My main instrument is drums which has the adverse effect of making ones fingers too bulky to play a simple A major on a guitar. 😄

Another great song using the “talk box” is by Joe Walsh (later of the Eagles) when he does “Rocky mountain way”

I saw this guy back in the early 90s when I was stationed in Augusta Georgia with the army. It was such a great show. He honestly looked like he was enjoying himself instead of working. Like if he invited you over to his garage for a couple beers and a jam session. A great show I will always remember (it helped that I was right up front, 5 feet from him)

[@ronburgardt6495]

The talk box (the straw) is a small amplifier at his feet. It sends the sound of the guitar to his mouth through the tube. His voice and mouth shapes modify the guitar sound, which is then picked up by his microphone. The talk box can be used with any amplified instrument, but usually guitar, and is always used by the person playing the instrument.

[@johncritchlow8156]

The guitar is a 1954 Les Paul Custom, used to use a Gibson SG and a Gibson ES-335 back in Humble Pie days. A friend actually offered Peter to use the Les Paul that had some custom work done to it, (extra pick up, and selector switch), and he fell in love with the instrument. The switch you asked about is "Pick Up Selector Switch". It will switch from say the bridge pick up to the neck pick up or both together for different tonal needs.

Peter Frampton is a Master talent. Did you happen to notice how he used the talk box and played the guitar at at the same time?

The "Straw" was part of a Talk Box, it is a speaker with a rubber tube coming out of it. You'd run your guitar through it and the tube runs the sound into your mouth, your mouth then becomes the speaker cabinet. Sounds cool and rattles the heck out of your fillings!

[@TweedSuit]

Peter: This is a device that shapes the frequency content of the sound to apply speech sounds (in the same way as singing) onto the sounds of the guitar. Donna: Git me one of them straws so i can make them noises. This is why we love Donna.

[@KWP1111]
