Peter Frampton might be more closely identified with the talk box than any other rock guitarist, but that doesn't mean he was the first to use it. In fact, as he recently recalled while discussing his 1975 appearance on 'The Midnight Special,' he might never have started using it if not for George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Joe Walsh.

"It was just the coolest effect," Frampton enthused. "I had been actually introduced to it physically on the George Harrison sessions [for] 'All Things Must Pass.' I was playing on that, on the tracks, and Pete Drake was brought in from Nashville, the incredible, legendary pedal steel player. I think Bob Dylan had recommended to George that he was on 'Nashville Skyline.' And so Pete Drake comes into Abbey Road and he's sitting right there, and sets up his pedal steel. The nicest, nicest man. He says, 'Hey, Peter, have you ever heard one of these voice boxes?'"
