Idiot Tries to Use a Talk Box 

This may not be my proudest moment, but I must share all sides of myself with you guys. I don't think I'd be the only one to make these rookie mistakes, though, so you're welcome for making them for you. Lol. Here's the talk box I used: amzn.to/2IbPAf2

Mom can we have a wah pedal? We have a wah pedal at home. Wah pedal at home:

Fun fact: you can say more on a talk box than “wowowow” and “wawawaw”

"I feel like there's a Bon Jovi talk box song." _bruh_

1:45 me when my friends ask if playing guitar gets me any girls

"I think Bon Jovi has a talkbox song" That's all of them Hang your local politician

> makes a talkbox video > doesn't actually try talking while using it

Everyone gansta till the lung cancer survivor starts to sing

*Flashbacks to 5-year old me imitating the "Livin' on a Prayer" intro with an electric toothbrush*

I was going to say there is no way humanly possible that someone with that much studio/music equipment doesn't know how to use a talk box.

Committed 11 minutes to hear the talkbox. Gets a wahwah pedal instead.

Girlfriend: will it be me or the hoes? Me: 1:48

"waao waao waao" - Tyler Larson

6:22 I'm learning how to use a Talkbox by watching a video on RU-vid of a guy learning how to use a Talkbox by watching a video on RU-vid of a guy ... wait. What?

When you want the sound of a wah-wah pedal, but also need something to put in your mouth....

As someone who watches your channel and thinks “wow, I wish I could do that!” Its refreshing to see this lol. I’ve had a talk box for years and went through all of this like 6 years ago. Funny to see someone I look up to struggle on something I’m able to do. Probably won’t ever happen again lol

9:02 thats what she said😂😂

When Owen Wilson picks up a guitar “wowowowowowowowow”

Kirk Hammet wants to know your Talk Box's location.

Literally the last chorus of Kickstart My Heart people what are you doing

I love how he makes a talkbox video and plays a Metallica song that isn’t The House Jack Built

First I thought the title was clickbait calling your self “ idiot” to get views but after watching I can confirm that you truly are one! Extremely hilarious man!

8:26 it sounds like that thing at the dentist

Considering he does nothing but “wawawawaw” I’m shocked he didn’t try the Jambi solo

8:25 Sounds like Donald Duck trying to sing a very heavy metal song

"Waw waw waw"

Work it Harder Makes it Better Do it Faster Makes us Stronger

It's a miracle this man hasn't broken everything he owns at least once

*dude confuses weed paraphernalia with a talk box*

Apparently he DOESN"T feel like we do...

This takes guitar faces to the next level...

This video gave me more anxiety than all the stressful events of the last 10 years of my life

*does 13 minute video on talk box*... *doesn't include any Peter Frampton* Forgive me Father for I have sinned

Master of puppets sounds like a cat uprising

Seeing him struggle to play the bassline from "Livin on a Prayer" hurt so much.

Peter Frampton "Do you feel like we do? comes to mind. I love that song. Thanks for the video.

so it's a wah pedal with a hose

The Master of Puppets sounded like an animal cover.

Drinking game: take a shot every time he says "alright"

I wish more How-tos felt this authentic. This is literally me when I get something out of the box and I'm too stubborn to look up what I'm actually supposed to do with my gear lmao

7:52 “Do I know any talk box songs?” Ever heard of Bon Jovi? 😂

DON'T UNPLUG THE AMP HEAD FROM THE SPEAKER WHILE IT'S ON FOR GOD'S SAKE TYLER

No attempt at Frampton? Would've been a sight to watch you talk box, "do you feel like I doooo".

I laughed so much at your clumsiness, probably as much as I'd laugh of my own when I get one for myself if I hadn't learned from your video. Thanks for that 🙏🙂

I remember when I was learning guitar my dad (who was an 80s hair metal shredder type guy) showed me how to make a talk box from household items. I can't remember the specifics since I was around 8 years old, but i remember it involved a cheap headphone speaker and some tubing. It worked really well too.

The box doesnt talk you should get your money back Tyler...

The title doesn't disappoint. Within the first minute I was screaming at the computer

1:44 Me when I walk up into the club in VRchat

Touches the talkbox, then says"I ve never touched a talkbox before"

Guitarists has talk box completely ignored Peter frampton

7:52 "Do I know any Talk Box songs?" 7:55 Plays "Man in the box", by Alice in Chains.

This was the hardest thing to watch lol . I watch all of your videos and this one right here made me wonder if you're ok haha .

1:13 That’s what she said 2:17-2:30 That’s what she said. 2:43 That’s what she said. 3:46-3:51 That’s what she said. 4:28 That’s what HE said. 7:35 That’s what she said. 11:52 That’s what SHE said.

8:01 It literally sounds like you were chocking

As soon as he said, "Do I even know any talkbox songs?" I immediately thought of Rotten Apple by Alice in Chains

Lyrics: Wowow wowwowoowow Waaw wawaw waaaawwaw Waw waw Waawawa wawawaw Waw wawa waw Woow wowowow owowwow

I once made a ghetto talk box to use on my keyboard. You just need duct tape, an old computer speaker as your source, clear flex tube and a PVC endcap with a hole in it to house the speaker and connect the tube. Loads of fun.

talk box turning the freaking frogs gay!!!

“Those Shoes” by The Eagles is basically Joe Walsh and Don Felder going back and forth with talk boxes

Me in the bathroom with my electric toothbrush: Wawawewaoaoaoaoao

This is hilarious xD

I always have this when i buy something new

Humans: talkbox Tyler: wa box

1:46 when u finish the football game and the team goes to eat with all the cheerleaders.

You forgot kickstart my heart has a amazing talk box solo

Having read the manual for this particular talkbox, it is definitely NOT designed to go between the head and cab (speaker voltage plus spit sounds like a recipe for an electrocution/explosion). It says that it disconnects the amp when on and is designed for the sound to go into the mic. Be careful man !!

That moment when you realize that as a non-guitarist you understand a guitar accessory better than a guitarist does

It hurts my eyes watching this man struggling to use it

Use this and a wah pedal together 😂

>Do I know any talkbox songs? >Literally Peter Frampton and Joe Walsh have tons of songs that use the talkbox

“The volumes coming out of here” Yh no shit

2:23 he laughed when he said putting it in 😏

I can’t tell if this is satirical or serious lol

Tyler, bro... The black rubber thingie you attached to the microphone is supposed to be attachted to the mic stand itself :p It's similar to one of those rubber pick holders Dunlop makes to put on your mic stand.

*gets a talk box* *proceeds to play master of puppets*

I heard a rumor in the early '90's that some guy died by breathing incorrectly when using one of these.

Alice in Chains is my favorite talk box stuff.

Wow, it's a miracle nothing blew up! The MXR talk box you got should in fact go in front, into the preamp, of the head, just like a pedal. It's NOT SUITABLE as a load for a tube amp, and shouldn't have worked here. Whatever Hughes and Kettner did, clearly they have a safety of some sort, but if someone tries the it with a simpler amp, the transformed and / or the pedal could burn up. There also is a PASSIVE talk box - these are the ones that go between amp and speaker. Dunlop makes one like this, and it's called HEIL talk box. And you should demand getting one, because the missing manual is CRITICAL in this case, and it's only luck nothing happened when you plugged the MXR the way you did. Please make an addendum video, an amp somewhere could go up in smoke.

No matter how many times I’ve watched this I’m still shocked you had a hard time with this lol.

I have two talk box songs, Livin On A Prayer And It’s My Life

So this is just like when i put my mouth over the speaker in my phone Lol

I was yelling sweet emotion the entire time.

"do I know any talk box songs?" *Plays only good talk box song* Nails it, crowd applause *Ruins it with metallica"

I enjoy your channel, this one is a classic. Nice to see you are a normal person and not just a guitar GOD!!!

Man in the box is the go-to song for talk box and wah-wah. no joke, i bought my Vox exactly for this reason. there is no way i can play it without a wah wah!

Am i the only one who thinks that using talkbox on “master of puppets” actually could/should be a thing?

One great old talkbox song that seems to have been missed in the comments is "Mindbender" by Stillwater - about, naturally, a talking guitar.

Having just bought a talk box without doing any research first, this is possibly the funniest/most accurate video I’ve ever seen. 😂👏

A man puts it in hes mouth for the first time and likes it (NSFW)

Thanks now i know ill never need to buy a talk box

11:28 anybody else hear king nothing by Metallica?

Atleast you got the ‘idiot’ part right.

ALICE IN CHAINS!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob Hiel made the original Talk Box for Joe Walsh. It used a 25 watt amp and a horn speaker inside an enclosed wooden box with the tube attached to the box. It didn't plug back into your guitar amp, the sound came out your mouth into a microphone. A lot of people thought they would "improve" on this by using a larger amp and ended up cracking and shattering their teeth. The first time I heard it was Joe Walsh & Barnstorm at Winterland, San Francisco, in 1974. I didn't realize anyone else could hear it.. I thought it was just really good LSD :>

Thank you for the laughter and the lesson!

LMFAO! This was great! 👍 Thanks for sharing this with us, Tyler! 😎

peter frampton all time best talk box song "do you feel like i do" the live version

You look like someone. I can't tell if it's a celebrity or someone I know in real life, but the resemblance to that mystery person is uncanny.

I don't mean to laugh, but after watching you hook about 30 guitar pedals up on one vid and then trying to watch you hook up a talk box is hilarious to me after subscribing to your channel after watching your fail videos. Being 61 yrs. old, I purchased a Rocktron Banshee talk box and found it to be surprisingly easy to use after listening and watching Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton having to use a separate switch for their speakers when they used the same thing. Now it's an all-in-one unit, but EVERYONE knows the tube comes out of the speaker driver and up to the microphone input via your mouth, and now, so do you! Don't get me wrong, man. Your knowledge of the fretboard and theory AMAZES me. Peace.

dude the hose, what diameter is it and whats it made of? Bouta go to the hardware store to get some to make my own talkbox
