I have been playing the guitar at my church for the last few month's. We have a new choir director and we have (after three years) finally built up a live band. I have been meeting with a professional guitar player that the choir director knows to get my skills better (everyone can get better, especially me). Anyhow I was at the professionals house the other day and he has a rocktron banshee talkbox, so I kinda mentioned that I always wanted to give the talkbox a shot, since Peter Frampton did it in the 70s I think everyone who plays guitar at least has thought about it. He says hey man no problem take it home with you, so I did. Kinda cool and was able to do some stuff right away, although talking is harder than I thought. Anyhow sent the guy an email a couple days later thanking him for letting me borrow it and telling him how cool it is. He sends me back an email and says "cool, you can have it" I was kinda blown away, cause the cheapest I have seen them is around $150.00. Long story short, I met with the choir leader today and we tried it out at the church and we will definately be putting in on some songs soon.
