Bo Diddley "Mumblin' Guitar" Optical Flame Microphone Experiment. This song by Bo Diddley was famous because the guitar sounds in parts as if it is talking. The Optical Microphone has unique properties as far as these types of sounds. If you listen carefully you may actually be able to understand a few words. The clearest example for my ears is at :14-16 seconds I hear the words "Digital Filter". Of course, this version was recorded decades before there was a digital filter available in 1959, a mystery. Let me know if you can hear any other words besides Bo Diddley speaking at the very start.
Thx
Dave

  • it sounds like a drunk sqare dance caller.........but hey im a drunk square dance caller

  • I can't hear that. How could you make a guitar speak unless you use a talk box.

  • You would think after stealing so much that Those shyster record companies wouldn't take down 'Mumblin' Guitar' or any of the old classic blues/rock records. Shyster is looking to hand down the money to the next generation of money grubbers and parasites. Glad this is up though its kind of weird.
