Here is some info about Frampton from wikipedia:

Frampton first became interested in music when he was seven-years old. He discovered his grandmother’s banjolele (a banjo-shaped ukulele) in the attic.[1] Teaching himself to play, he became near obsessed, and upon receiving a guitar and piano, from his parents, taught himself those instruments as well. At age eight he got a guitar and started taking classical music lessons.[2][3]

Early influences were Cliff Richard & The Shadows, (featuring guitarist Hank Marvin) and American rockers Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran, and then the Beatles. His father introduced him to French gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt.[1][4]

[edit] Early bands

By the age of ten, Frampton played in a band called the Little Ravens. Both he and David Bowie were pupils at Bromley Technical School where Frampton’s father, Owen Frampton, was an art teacher and head of the Art department. The Little Ravens played on the same bill at school as Bowie’s band, George and the Dragons.[2] Peter and David would spend time together at lunch breaks, playing Buddy Holly songs.[2][5]

At the age of 11, Peter was playing with a band called The Trubeats followed by a band called The Preachers, produced and managed by Bill Wyman, of The Rolling Stones.[2]

In 1966, he became as a member of The Herd. He was the lead guitarist and singer, scoring a handful of British teenybopper hits. Frampton was named “The Face of 1968″ by the UK press.[2][4][6]

In 1969, when Frampton was 19 years old, he joined with Steve Marriott of The Small Faces to form Humble Pie.[2][6]

While playing with Humble Pie, Frampton also did session recording with other artists including; Harry Nilsson, Jim Price, Jerry Lee Lewis and George Harrison’s solo All Things Must Pass, in 1971.[6] This session was where he was introduced to the ‘Talkbox’ that has become such a trademark guitar sound for Frampton.
