Using Talkbox With Your Guitar

[@meercreate]

I remember coming across this video back in 2009, memories

[@anubisindustries4397]

I remember coming across your comment back in 2016. Good Memories.

[@EricAustinYun]

This video is the reason I actually got a talkbox. I will always have much respect for you my man. Years old but still absolutely timeless.

[@ryancampbell8887]

I accidentally left my volume setting on high and when I loaded the video and the intro music started to play, my dad asked me if I was watching a porno.

[@ZakuBlk]

Lol. Now thats funny.

[@Inimbrium]

+Ryan Campbell bwahahahahha 70's porno!

[@kbs1212]

Guy knows a thing or two about talk boxes mangggg. Respect. Also he automatically wins at life for having a name like Moot Booxlé. The best.

[@AbductedMan]

One of the first videos I've ever watched on youtube... Hard to believe it's been 8 years. Oh the nostalgia is kicking in. Keep kicking ass man! Still love your vids

[@komodocoon4735]

NOW ITS BEEN 14 HAHAHAHAHAH

[@AbductedMan]

@@komodocoon4735 lmao time flies

[@nickyG8715]

I remember watching this video 14 years ago. That’s wild

[@BigDogDaddyD]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I saw Peter Frampton in concert back in the 70's. Was always fascinated by this effect. Discovered the 1st televised performance of this effect was a steel lap guitar player back in the 50's on the Porter Wagner Show. Now here I am today using a T.C.Helicon Talkbox pedal with a mic instead of a tube. I also have a synth keyboard with a mic and vocoder capabilities. Since this COVID nonsense has cut back performing, I use them mostly to entertain the grandkids. I think I enjoy the grandkids more than performing on stage. Definitely a friendlier crowd. No need to put up chicken wire to stop the flying beer bottles.

[@mootbooxle]

The simple things in life are the most important! Your grandkids are blessed to have you!

[@SBhamra101]

[@slightlymentholated]

Man, your videos are great. They're informative, and extremely entertaining. Best YT user I've stumbled across in years.

[@Rotyoto]

Is he the chilliest dude ever?

[@mootbooxle]

rotyoto .masima definitely. :)

[@rmryder88]

Hey man, I justed wanted to say thanks for going to the trouble of posting these videos! Ive played drums for 13 years, but just started guitar about 2 years ago. Ive been thinking about getting a talkbox just for fun, and your videos really helped me make up my mind and decide what to go with. I just ordered a Rocktron Banshee. Your playing sounds great man. Keep up the great work, and thanks again!

[@NuevaBestia]

I was literally just thinking "I'm gonna call him mootbooxle instead of booxlé" and then 0:35

[@lmbfr01]

man you're incredible, thanks for posting this... for some reason you and marty schwartz are like my favorite guys on youtube. i hope you're doing excellent!!!

[@rachelmoore1163]

Hey is there a way to get my hands on that outro song I'm digging the vibe!

[@m1garandisthebest]

This is my favorite video on the internet

[@TrillBill]

I gotta fever..and the only prescription, IS MORE TALKBOX

[@69drguitar]

+Fire Marshall Bill Perfect!!! LMAO

[@TrillBill]

Dave Harley I'm here all week,folks! lol

[@Loddentidster]

This guy is the definition if "DUDE"! If you add up the awesomeness of this talkbox playing, this is a pretty awesome video! (Y)

[@reemil1]

Ashton Kutcher is that you?

[@maxsilz]

Hey there. Great stuff. The best talkbox demonstration I've seen. Thanks.

[@lucastperez]

Now turn the volume down and show this to someone who has no idea what this is about and laugh while he make those faces.

[@KingMusicalMel]

thats a really nice sg, i like the wooden finnish looks nice and smooth :)

[@AimeLilen]

I came here to say that he looks like Ashton Kutcher but it has been said before... I'm gonna say it anyway HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ASHTON KUTCHER. Bye.

[@mootbooxle]

Aimé Cobain have a good day!

[@AimeLilen]

mootbooxle you too honey!

[@AimeLilen]

***** Different views, different opinions... :)

[@KeeperAudio]

fantastic video! great work!

[@anilcan07]

Ashton Kutcher with a long hair ?

[@edwardaftim8708]

Yup

[@AbyoErui]

That is an absolutely adorable accent ~ Lol and aside from fangasming over it, nice tutorial. Never really heard much about the talkbox, but now I know how Slash and guys like him made that sound.

[@grvenics3341]

Ashton Kutcher with long hair.

[@RichGirlzRule]

Thanks for posting this. I am a huge Frampton fan and never really understood the voice box at all.

[@flavy1000]

You`re a genious, my friend!! Thanks for sahring all your knowledge about this interesting "thing"as the Tlakbox is... Flavy.. (basswoman from Argentina...)

[@hardmanners]

I used to think there wouldn't be any cool and talented musicians be left in todays world. I was wrong. That's a real cool video. Thanks for uploading.

[@sway2293]

this guy knows what hes talking about. electronics, music, harmonics, guitar. damn

[@martse11]

This was the best demonstration of a talkbox I have ever seen. Great video!!! Did I hear a little "While my guitar gently weeps" in there? If I did, then it was a great way to play it!! AWESOME

[@LessLethal]

There are also a lot of small, practice combo amps that have integrated speaker-out's. I have a small Crate combo practice that is not only a hugely underrated as an amp in general, but has the speaker out and is now a dedicated talkbox driver.

[@soundbyjake]

hey man. i wasn't knockin you. your musical abilities are crucial. keep rockin

[@BallsMcFlapTub1]

nice video. congratz on the 4 years

[@kiba456123]

Thatnks man, great video! It really helped me get that Jeff Beck shredding talk box sound!

[@cgnusx1]

Moot, I am diggin your shit dude! You've got a good grip on chillin and playin and I love the equipment at your back! Continue with all that is good!

[@mootbooxle]

Hey, a horn driver is called that because it is the element used to "drive" the sound in a PA speaker's horn - you know, the top part that's shaped like a funnel. The driver screws into that, inside the speaker cabinet.

[@jeremyacton4569]

That was really cool! Thanks, Moot.

[@KillerFuzzball]

That was awesome, I totally want a talkbox now.

[@MihaiSorohan]

cool tutorials you have about talk box

[@rars0n]

The phase effect sound is a low-larynx thing. The easy way to replicate that is to try to mimic the Yogi Bear voice. With just a little practice, it's really easy to be aware of and control how low or high your larynx is (which also helps with singing). I'm really not much of a fan of talk boxes, but you use it well, moot. It's not what equipment the musician uses but how they use it, and it's always cool to see someone using something in a new way.

[@TejanoStlye]

i watched this whole vid and another and wasnt bored at all...cool stuff

[@mootbooxle]

just with some 16ga speaker wire soldered to the amp's normal speaker connection. I should eventually break down and make a 1/4" connector for the amp, just to make things easier, but I'm not bothered to do it right now, since I only use it for talkbox!

[@flavy1000]

You`re a genious, my friend!! Thanks for sahring all your knowledge abotu this interesting apparatous.. Flavy.. (basswoman from Argentina...)

[@DirtyOldSkunk]

Nah, I haven't gotten one yet. I have started looking into them a bit, but I wont get one until I know more about the different models and necessary gear to compliment them. Thanks for the tips, much appreciated!

[@MrGuitars8]

Can't wait to get mine , I need it for gigs fast .

[@LOGEZZZZZBRO]

Excellent, well put together video. Good work.

[@LaterSlader]

that was some pretty beast soloing.

[@MomzWitE]

loved the video! You seem like a good teacher!

[@raizumichin]

@closertotheheart The talkbox actually fits after your amp. It's really just a speaker in a box with a tube coming out, So you connect the output of the amp to a talbox instead of the speaker cab. However, an easier way is to use the rocktron banshee, with creates a similar sound, but fits in your regular pedal chain.

[@rars0n]

It's called "Set Your Voice Free", by Roger Love. It came with an audio CD for the exercises and other examples. A lot of the sounds he describes in the book are on the CD, whether it is good or bad technique, which makes it a lot easier to tell what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong. I'm no expert, but everything in the book seemed to make sense once I soaked it up, and my voice has improved noticeably. Although I've been lazy on the exercises lately.

[@mootbooxle]

you will most likely have to disconnect your speaker leads and wire them to a 1/4" female jack to make things simple. I assume it's something like a Dunlop Heil Talk Box?

[@yuriharrison]

Dude, You have a cool way to explain all those things. Nice.. Fanny and cool video.

[@fuzzcentralage]

i really like the beginning the most, that intro song is FUNKY!

[@firegeek22]

This is a great vid man, thanks a lot really informal your a great teacher, and i love listening to you play.

[@DerBlitzfreak77]

Thx for uploading this video. I´m about to buy such a talkbox, now I know how to use this tool. By, the way, cool explanation and this guy in the video: a really good guitar player. .

[@OkinInc]

Wished you lived nextdoor...life would be so much more fun than it already is!! You rock bro!!

[@possumverde]

Very nice Talk Box demo. If you ever get bored, try sticking a kazoo on the end of the tube. It's not really that useful, but as long as the resonator lasts you'll get one very interesting fuzz tone.

[@mootbooxle]

That's awesome man. Thanks for the tip. I will look for that book! Peace!

[@thegmanyo]

I liked the "in four years" modifier on your annotation.

[@drummerboyLK]

the little riff "do you feel alright" is peter frampton's Do You Feel Like We Do

[@leolozada1365]

the loop from the credits it's very good bro, if you made it congrats!!! let's get funkier!

[@jonc.1122]

nice licks man, your a great guitar player!

[@hellsbells288]

That was one of the coolest things ive ever seen lol now i know how they do that cool noise at the beginning of "living on a prayer" by bon jovi

[@theateroftheabsurd2168]

This dude to cool man. I hope life has been excellent to u brother. You sir are the dogs pants!!!

[@SURROUNDEDBYCOMMENTS]

2:39, 3:22 and 3:49 are what made me love Talkbox with Guitar!!

[@toplak666]

Dude that sounds sick... I'm making one of these asap!

[@ashencone]

Keep rockin' Moot

[@mootbooxle]

Johnny Appleseed, if you had watched the video... the talkbox I'm using here is more or less a Electro-Harmonix Golden Throat without the enclosure. It's a vintage EV 1823m driver, with a Golden Throat tube connector. I have my friend (and great talkboxer) Codini to thank for hooking me up with that.

[@drummerboyLK]

youre really good, i also like your "A Merry Talkbox Christmas" Keep it up!

[@0911smokey]

Great information dude! You're talented.

[@mootbooxle]

@FEARsc0pe it all depends. You could use a cheap guitar amp for it I guess, you don't really need anything too high of wattage. A 15 watt amp would probably work. That's what I'm using in this video.

[@thanosbikos]

Thanx for sharing man, very good video. Made things clear about the talkbox

[@cameltraffic911]

thanks Moot Booxle(y) :) you make me happy!

[@sandman44445]

ok thanks man. i was wondering that question for a while thanks for answering it.

[@Biophob]

You got great hardware.

[@Diqed]

man i love the 'do-you feel alright?' 'do-you feel alrihihight?'awesome man

[@Based.Mercado]

Hahaha, one of my favorite videos On you tube. I remember watching this a few years ago. Good memories 🤙🏼

[@mootbooxle]

@17ownage oh, it's just a little bit of "She's A Woman" from the Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live album.

[@mootbooxle]

@ironmaidenrules11 that's a quote from the live version of Jeff Beck's cover of "She's A Woman". It's on the album Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live. Cop it if you can.

[@mootbooxle]

@frozenroby Hey! The talkbox I'm using in this video is basically the guts of a vintage Electro-Harmonix Golden Throat - that is, it's the driver (Electro-Voice 1823m) and the Golden Throat tube connector. Do I recommend the Rocktron Banshee 2? Absolutely. Best talkbox on the market. Custom-built ones like I normally use are better, but the Rocktron has it all in one box.

[@raizumichin]

@closertotheheart That's the case with every talkbox, not just the banshee. They all work the same way, the banshee just has its own preamp so you don't need to connect it after your regular amp. In any case, no sound from the talkbox will come out of the speaker cab, it will all come through your mouth (via the tube) so you'll need a vocal mic in front of your face to pick up the sound (for live use, at home you'll hear it the same way you hear yourself talk).

[@FunkyVinylJunkie]

ohh man that was smooth!

[@mootbooxle]

@HarpoonSlazenger I appreciate that! I kinda copped that bassline from the end part of Mandrill's "Fencewalk".

[@MrKnisterable]

@GibsonRocks12 DeArmond S73 (mentioned below video box, in description. you need to click the 2 arrows

[@darkmachete]

This has been more than helpful. I've got to get a talkbox! :D

[@paris24680]

dis some good stuff, you got talent wit dat guitar

[@emehtonich]

While you can't make the shaped sound go through the amp, the Banshee 2 lets you still send your instrument sound to an amp while you use the talkbox.

[@shoonger001]

DUDE!!! when you going to upload a new video?

[@TheAnalogKidd]

Love the end sound track....

[@mootbooxle]

@TheBran1262 Hey thanks! It's just a natural finish, but the guitar is made of mahogany, which has a really cool texture. My 12-string is made exactly the same, but it doesn't look as cool, as it's stained a dark green color...you can't see the wood grain as well.

[@Scritley]

Check out Moot Booxle's other vid where he shows you how to build one on the cheap. I watched his vid, went to radio shack, picked up some comparable parts, and had it built in less than an hour from a cheap old fender 10 watt amp and a Radio Shack outdoor horn type speaker. Learning to play it is a whole-nuther deal! Moot can build one and play one. good luck!

[@Bobbyeagle]

woops accidentally put thumbs down for 'your a good musician man'. that was supposed to be a thumbs up! Moot Booxle is awesome!

[@geraci89]

So the wet effect we're hearing...is that directly the sound coming out of the tube/your mouth? Meaning the speaker going in the tube is really loud??

[@pedalman]

Take a look at "Pete Drake/ Forever" and you will see the original guy doing this in 1964, peter frampton got his first talk box given to him by pete drake during the all things must pass session .
