Talk Box

Is this how Steve Vai did the talking guitar on Yankee Rose?

Doesn't a vocoder do something similar?

They can have similar results, but the approach is different. A vocoder takes two inputs (ie. guitar and microphone) and harmonizes them, outputting a mixed electrical signal after combining. A talk box plays a single input audio (guitar) through a speaker and the sound travels up a tube to the performer's mouth, which the performer uses to shape the sound. The audio is then captured by a microphone.
