this really bugging me. i cant remember what this is called. jimmy page used it when he played whole lotta love live, (2 minutes into the song on how the west was won). its like a bar sticking up, and he moves his hands around it. joe perry used one on aersmith's latest tour.

p.s. its not a guitar!!! somebody was probably dieing to post that:p

Ah sure I got it for like £50 in London...so no, they aren't all that expensive....they are funky but when it gets down to it...can ya actually see it fitting into a song...it's defo a stage gimmick I suppose, but really it serve's no songwriting purpose !!!

I still have the Talk-Box...I am determined to find a use for it in a tune !!!

Theremin in this song sounds class and adds to the atmosphere:
