- Vintage Guitar Oldenburg and Tobias Hoffmann present a Fender Broadcaster from 1950. More infos about the guitar at: www.vintage-gui...
The guitar shown was played through a Fender Deluxe Reverb from 1978 and recorded with a Shure SM57 (right) and a Sennheiser 409 (left) . The backing tracks were recorded into a Fame Twin Looper on the same instrument right before the recording of each video. A Electro Harmonix Freeze was used for additional loops and sounds. Overdrive Sounds come from a Vemuram Jan Ray and occasionally the Origin Revival Drive.
Tobias Hoffmann is a award winning guitar player from cologne, germany. He combines the sounds of Jazz, Blues, Rock, Surf and some experimental stuff. Check him out:

I came here to see an original broadcaster, and i found an amazing guitar player, my conclusion is , if somenone deserve this guitar it is absolutely Tobias Hoffmann who deserve it
Why so few youtube performances use clean sounds is beyond me. This is magic.
because all they want is an overdriven amp where the speakers are farting right out of their holes
I agree with you so much...
Spot on
Could not agree more. I hear an amp on 11 way past the sweet spot, or a clean amp with a distortion pedal turned all the way up I stop watching. Any guitar will do that. Lets hear the character and voice of the GUITAR. I love this channel for that reason.
The perfect combination of an amazing guitarist and folk that know how to mic an amp!
Oh my lord! That was absolutely gorgeous. That Broadcaster is about the best sounding Tele I’ve ever heard. But that guitarist….. who the heck IS he? He’s what I want to be when I grow up. Awesome
your well on the way mate...
@@martynsparkes7118 Thanks Martyn, appreciated 👍
The best!! This is Tobias Hoffmann!!! 😎
Hi Paul!! Do you understand the chordal stuff he does at ~3:53?
@@davidallman653 Hi David. Thankfully, yes! When I scrolled to 3:53 I was dreading you were asking about all these complex single note runs….. in which case the answer would have been No 🤣. But those chordal movements, whilst gorgeous, are fairly normal. At one point he’s simply following the exact chords of the song, but just highlighting 2 notes from each chord instead of 5 or 6, to give more of a “lead guitar” vibe. And then at other points he’s “suggesting” or “anticipating” the next chord by sliding up to the chord from 3 frets below. All quite normal. Actually, as a point of interest, I think he accidentally spells out a major chord at one point, but he meant to spell out a minor…. this occurs at 4:03. Not only can you hear this but it’s the first time I think I’ve ever heard him make a mistake…. And he acknowledges it by raising his eyebrows 3 seconds later at 4:06. That said - I think he’s one of the best guitar players I’ve ever heard in my life, and so I think I’m gonna forgive him 🤣.
That man is a musical treasure.
Is this the best demonstration of a Broadcaster there’s ever been? What a player Tobias is! 🙌
NO , IS NOT .
@@monkeyrevolution1964 What is, shouty dude? I sure would love to see it, so please enlighten us?
@@restlessspirits5630 And more , he HAS NOT a firm touch to play Guitar : It´s awful his playing . For start he should stop SHAKING de Guitar while he plays : Does not help at all . I am sorry .
@@monkeyrevolution1964 ok, that’s interesting. Who would you say is a better example of someone demonstrating the broadcaster? I’m just trying to learn about this, so I believe you - I’m sure you’re much more of an expert than me, but if you’re saying someone is bad, it’s really helpful to provide an example of someone who’s better
RUclips is awful for interrupting this great performance with a commercial.
Get premium
Perfect phrasing, warm tone, calm attack, windswept hair.
Some of the most tasteful playing you will find on RUclips - or anywhere for that matter. Thank you Tobias for your talent and for showing off the genius of the Telecaster...
He’s the best!🙌
That guy is an INSANELY creative player
I loved his face at the end when he switched to the forward position and accessed the "dark tone" on that vintage guitar with the early blend wiring circuit, which nowadays many regard as "useless". Proof that there is nothing "useless" in the hands of a creative and talented player as Tobias (what a beautiful outro it was using the "dark tone")
Much agreed, my guitar brother! And that wiring is the only thing I'd have on a Telecaster. Did you know you can put the switch into the #2 (notch) position and get both pickups, some are wired in-phase, some (like James Burton's), out of phase.
Great point.
@@Tonetwisters Use a 4 position lever switch and you can have all three pup selections + the dark circuit.
I came here for the Broadcaster, stayed for the beautiful playing.
The emotion you have expressed via that broadcaster is so joyful.
Thank you for that beautiful playing.
Was going to say the same and couldn't have said it better.
I have never heard any modern day production guitar sound so sweet, incl. custom shop guitars. amazing guitar and amazing playing.
made me cry like a baby ...
when madness meets technique and intelligence.
That's sublime. Music at its peak
Approaching 75 years soon, just a classic design. Amazing how many guitars and amp designs there were where he knocked it out of the park. These designs are still as relevant today as they were in the 50’s and 60’s.✌️
Tasteful player.
Man that Tele and this guy's playing is out of this world Man you are Awsome and the sound of that 50s Tele Amazing !!!!
That guitar sounds so good and the playing is just on another level.
The joy in his playing is inspiring❤
Der heilige Gral, gespielt von einem Großmeister seines Fachs. Ganz großes Kino.
Hi, I'm an Italian guitarist, and I wanted to congratulate you. You are one of the guitarists with the most expressive touch and the most complete and refined technique around. When there is wisdom in the construction of the phrasing and global vision of the writing of the piece, there is no need for useless "virtuosity" or links heard a thousand times as an end in themselves. I would like you to tell me if there are any videos of concerts you have made, and I would like to know if by any chance you will come to play in Italy and if so, when and where. Congratulations, and good music. Luca Falcone.
I'm at a loss for words to describe how listening to this master solo has affected me! HAPPY, UPLIFTING, EMOTIONAL AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN!
Wow
That’s how to demonstrate how good tone should be! not over saturated gimmick effects that makes all guitars sound the same .
Fabulous tone superb playing and feel
Well done that man
Best Guitar tone on RUclips
These video archives are a treasure
Incredible guitar but Tobias Hoffman makes it work. He is what everyone want to ear in a guitar demo: a good player
So great to hear these old guitars played so beautifully and tastefully
The Lofi end was just too good 😩 beautiful playing !
What a player! Stunning tone
This guy reminds me of Roy Buchanan. Only better. Don't think I've seen anyone with this level of pure feeling in their playing before. And those volume swells near the end - totally masterful 😮👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That guitar is pure love.
The recording quality and playing makes this video sounds so majestic
Every tone is gorgeous. Lovely guitar, lovely feeling 🎼🎸❤
Oh my!! It doesn’t get any better than this!!!
Simply sublime playing!
fantastique comme joue Mr Tobias Hoffmann et avec une superbe et rare Broadcaster ..
The playing and the guitar are pure magic & beautiful together thanks 🙏🏾 no crunch ….stardust
A lot of the demos I see on here are more about the overdriven effects pedal than the real sound of the instrument. This, THIS is a demonstration of tone.
A fantastic instrument and equally fantastic player to present it. Wonderful!
Fantastic guitar and fantastic playing!
This is beyond incredible. Thank you, Tobias!
Best tele tone ive ever heardd
That may be the best demo of all time... Beautiful playing! Absolutely perfect touch & feel. Brought out every ounce of nuance & tone that could be found in that lovely old Fender.
no matter how wonderful / expensive your guitar is if you play it without a soul and joy it will be worthless.
That bridge pickup - like the one in my refin NoCaster -- is AMAZING. Clarity and almost holographic...
As a kid my best friend mom/dad had a Broadcaster underneath their bed ,they let me play it once... they told me you may never have the chance to play another one because these guitars are going to be valuable. I have long time been a firm believer in a clean guitar!!!!
That SOUND!! Wow!! That is some of the best I've ever heard from such a lovely old blonde! Truly a master on the guitar. Thank you, Tobias!!
Sublime playing, and more proof that Leo got it right the first time.
Perfect sound and playing! Bravo!
That ending is particularly visceral. Wonderful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The algorythm made me really happy today. That middle pickup sounds velvet. Great guitarplayer too!
I see what you did there with algorythm.
Agreed, glad I found this. Just FYI, the “middle” position on the switch is just the neck pickup on the Broadcaster. The forward or 1st is the neck in a Dark circuit, and the third is the Bridge… BUT, you can use the second knob, which is usually a tone on telecasters, as a blend to blend the neck into the bridge. So you have no TONE knob… you have Bridge/Blend with Neck, Neck, and Neck in Dark circuit.
@@scottjua Same as on my dec '51 / jan '52 Telecaster. Once you get used to blending the pu's it becomes addictive 😋
Wonderful playing with great tone!!!🎵🎶🎵🎶🎧😎
Some of the best sounds I’ve ever heard !!!!
Along the renewed ES-175, ES-5 and aerchtops, this is absolutely an amazing guitar to play jazz with... And it's a damn solid body guitar!!! What a warm and splendid sound...
What a gorgeous tone.
Great picking.
Extraordinary a player and a guitar, thank for this very plaisant moment ! 🙏
I watch this demo at least once a day since I discovered it. I ordered a Fender Telecaster because of this video. Just pure natural timbre and tone...Inspiring to say the least...Thanks Tobias
Beautiful playing and sound on a magical guitar. Sooooo good! Thankyou.
I know this broadcaster and it is a great guitar. With Tobias playing it, is even sounds much better linke in an other dimension!
awesome beautiful
sounds so good both the player and the guitar
That bridge pickup sounds magical.
That was AMAZING.
Gorgeous.
That neck pickup has a gorgeous, flute-like tone. They knew how to wind them back then.
That sounds absolutely incredibly beautiful! Great playing too!
What a rock solid tone, beautiful
2 years later still amazing 💚
Love coming back to these videos . . . Thanks, Vintage Guitar Oldenburg!
Such sweet and mellow tone.
GREAT PLAYING, GREAT TONE, GREAT FEELING. VERY FEW PLAYERS ARE AS GOOD AS YOU . REMINDS ME OF WHEN I STUDIED THE SHADOWS .
Die Gitarre ist nicht schlecht aber der Typ macht mich fertig. Tenderly messed up..... Das ist das Beste, was ich seit langer Zeit gehört habe.... Danke Tobias Hoffmann!
Never heard of this Tobias cat, what a player!!! As real as it can be.
That was amazing. Beautiful playing on a wonderful sounding Tele. I will listen to this again and again - thank you VGO.
Perfect. That tone is what I’m chasing. And the playing is what I strive for.
THIS. . . Was absolutely beautiful!
Just full of ideas after listening to each of these videos. Fantastic player , great guitars too !!
Hello, from GA👋
Maaan! So many details in that tone and playing! Lovely!
The guitar, the amplifier, There is no beating that great Fender sound.
Simply... I love this guy!!!!
Wonderfully played. Beautiful instruments like these are meant to be played , not stored in a locker somewhere.
Good lord !!!
That’s stunningly beautiful playing.
Man that’s some great, great playin
Have mercy. That Broadcaster sounds incredible through that silverface Deluxe Reverb. And his playing is second to none. What a versatile guitar the Telecaster is!
This is just wonderful
Beautiful!!
Sandy Denny would have been envious of his playing wonderful thank you whispering grass on the broadcaster guitar.Roy would give you a nod to.
Absolutely! The tone and touch was very reminiscent of Roy Buchanan at times.
Tobias, you are incredible. So much beauty in your playing.
What a guitarist, wow!!
Many can shred. Few can play. Tobias plays.
Wonderful playing. 😄😄
Remarkable ... to me, the most versatile electric.
Beautiful, fantastic, sound lovely playing absolutely treat
Bravo!! Conjunción perfecta de amplificafor, gutarra y músico. Sobran más palabras....
I enjoy your intros leading to your loops. Very smooth. 🥰👏🏻
So Beautiful played .... I LOVE clean tones .... and when the sound breakup in the amp ... that's superior to what there is .... Nothing any better .. . NO never
I"m a firm believer in clean guitar, you deserve that Broadcaster !
Fantastic picking! THX
That’s incredible on so many levels. It’s a wonder the industry bothered developing more models when there was so much versatility in this. The tonality of the neck pickup is well… breathtaking. Is Tobias playing flatwounds? As ever he is just brilliantly, depressingly great. Damn! Thanks for this.
Was für eine Gitarre habt ihr da gefunden! Unglaublich und sehr schöne Demo. Georgia on my mind war sehr schön und elegant gespielt.
