A snippet from Peter Frampton's website. Read the whole thing at the link below.
That weird 'talking guitar' sound you can hear on 'Show Me The Way' is produced by a gadget called the 'TalkBox', that Peter first came across in 1971 when he heard a pedal steel player using it on the sessions for George Harrison's 'All Things Must Pass'. .............It works like this: A small audio speaker or high end driver is enclosed, air tight, into a metal box with a hole in the top where a tube comes out. The guitar is plugged into an amp, but the speaker output is routed through the TalkBox. Then the signal is routed back from the box into the amp again. So, the sound from the guitar is sent through the box, up the tube to a waiting mouth, where the sounds are manipulated by Peter, before being picked up by the microphone! So by this method you can mouth the words while the sound of the guitar replaces the human voice box....hence the name TalkBox! Of course, Peter doesn't use the effect on every song........but you can hear it lately on the album 'Frampton Comes Alive II' on the song 'Can't Take That Away'.

Peter Frampton used a TalkBox. This is a musical device, used to apply speech sounds (such as singing) onto a musical instrument, typically guitar

He used a device called a "Talkbox" - it's essentially an air-driver type speaker connected to a rubber tube, which is placed in the player's mouth - the sound signal from the guitar is sent through the tube, manipulated by the player by moving his mouth, and picked up by the player's microphone. You can buy talkboxes at music stores or on E-Bay.
