just watched a thing on the telly i sky+ from a while back and it had some geezer playing his guitar ,where they have a bit of hose attached and they make a differant sound while singing (might have been peter frampton) - like a warbling sound ,but you can understand the lyrics ,and still here the cords(think thats what they call them) coming through
The question is ,yes it sounds cool and many have done it ,but what the hell is it called ,or does it not have a name ,just people do it ,cos they can ??
and how do you or where do you attach the pipe to the guitar - never played one ,but still curious
It`s called a "Voicebox" bri and plays the output up through the tube into the mouth where the muscisian then mouths the sounds through the PA Microphone ....... basically a little speaker at the bottom end of the tube pushing the guitar up, switchable by pedal.
"......the muscisian then mouths the sounds through the PA ....."
Not really as simple as it sounds......the "vocal" has got to match the guitar note perfectly.......a thing called "scat" - a device often used in jazz (Cleo Lane is a prime example of how vocal notes can match instrument notes. Another good example of this art is Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd - David Gilmours' vocal "scat" perfectly replicates the notes on the guitar solos:
Re the u-tube quote on the Joe Walsh clip........Lol......I've been looking out for a solid body Rickenbacker for years - and here's JW playin' one - I want it - I want it....hahahaha - not the Les Paul used for the "voicebox" section. Mind you - if anybody's got an old original Les Paul Junior (tabacco sunburst) lying around, that they wanna get rid of.......bagsy 1st dibs )
OK - I know it's a fishin' forum.....but WTF....this IS the "chat " area innit ??
TC that Pink Floyd link is mint...all time fave song
...I know I should be in bed - am fishing in 4 hours time but sod it

Lol Tony.......which PF link.....they're both "mint"
Hows the 12 string practice coming along, then ?
Wish You Were Here - I can ish play it myself - albeit a somewhat ham fisted way but I still try
12 string is going OK...haven't quite tuned it properly...insofar that both sets of strings are currently at the same pitch

"Wish You Were Here".......Hmmmm - know what you mean - it's pretty simple to play, really - it's just the 1st section of that effing "scat" bit that I crumple on......e very time
