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.
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.
@@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
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
@@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 🤣.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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!!!!
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...
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
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.
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!
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.

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

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

The perfect combination of an amazing guitarist and folk that know how to mic an amp!
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?

@@martynsparkes7118 Thanks Martyn, appreciated 👍
The best!! This is Tobias Hoffmann!!! 😎
Hi Paul!! Do you understand the chordal stuff he does at ~3:53?

He’s the best!🙌
That guy is an INSANELY creative player
I have never heard any modern day production guitar sound so sweet, incl. custom shop guitars. amazing guitar and amazing playing.
when madness meets technique and intelligence.
That's sublime. Music at its peak

@@Tonetwisters Use a 4 position lever switch and you can have all three pup selections + the dark circuit.
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!
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 !!!!
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.
Incredible guitar but Tobias Hoffman makes it work. He is what everyone want to ear in a guitar demo: a good player
made me cry like a baby ...
The joy in his playing is inspiring❤
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
A fantastic instrument and equally fantastic player to present it. Wonderful!
The playing and the guitar are pure magic & beautiful together thanks 🙏🏾 no crunch ….stardust
That guitar sounds so good and the playing is just on another level.
Best Guitar tone on RUclips
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 😮👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Der heilige Gral, gespielt von einem Großmeister seines Fachs. Ganz großes Kino.
That guitar is pure love.
So great to hear these old guitars played so beautifully and tastefully
The recording quality and playing makes this video sounds so majestic
Oh my!! It doesn’t get any better than this!!!
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.
Perfect. That tone is what I’m chasing. And the playing is what I strive for.
These video archives are a treasure
Every tone is gorgeous. Lovely guitar, lovely feeling 🎼🎸❤
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!!!!
The Lofi end was just too good 😩 beautiful playing !
This is beyond incredible. Thank you, Tobias!
Simply sublime playing!
What a player! Stunning tone
fantastique comme joue Mr Tobias Hoffmann et avec une superbe et rare Broadcaster ..
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...
Love coming back to these videos . . . Thanks, Vintage Guitar Oldenburg!
What a gorgeous tone.
Great picking.
Beautiful playing and sound on a magical guitar. Sooooo good! Thankyou.
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
Fantastic guitar and fantastic playing!
I know this broadcaster and it is a great guitar. With Tobias playing it, is even sounds much better linke in an other dimension!
Perfect sound and playing! Bravo!
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!!
Extraordinary a player and a guitar, thank for this very plaisant moment ! 🙏
Some of the best sounds I’ve ever heard !!!!
2 years later still amazing 💚
That ending is particularly visceral. Wonderful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Tobias, you are incredible. So much beauty in your playing.
sounds so good both the player and the guitar
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 😋
That was amazing. Beautiful playing on a wonderful sounding Tele. I will listen to this again and again - thank you VGO.
Best tele tone ive ever heardd
That sounds absolutely incredibly beautiful! Great playing too!
Sublime playing, and more proof that Leo got it right the first time.
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!
Was für eine Gitarre habt ihr da gefunden! Unglaublich und sehr schöne Demo. Georgia on my mind war sehr schön und elegant gespielt.
Just full of ideas after listening to each of these videos. Fantastic player , great guitars too !!
awesome beautiful
Many can shred. Few can play. Tobias plays.
What a rock solid tone, beautiful
That neck pickup has a gorgeous, flute-like tone. They knew how to wind them back then.
Maaan! So many details in that tone and playing! Lovely!
That was AMAZING.
I enjoy your intros leading to your loops. Very smooth. 🥰👏🏻
Einfach toll! Der Klang der Gitarre, die Aufnahme und vor allem das Spiel vom Tobias - vielen Dank!
Wonderfully played. Beautiful instruments like these are meant to be played , not stored in a locker somewhere.
Such sweet and mellow tone.
Good lord !!!
That’s stunningly beautiful playing.
Super great demo, gorgeous sound 😎
Gorgeous.
Never heard of this Tobias cat, what a player!!! As real as it can be.
Remarkable ... to me, the most versatile electric.
Man, you are one of the most tasteful and imaginative players I've ever heard. Incredible. Nice guitar too, thanks for posting🤯
Beautiful, fantastic, sound lovely playing absolutely treat
The guitar, the amplifier, There is no beating that great Fender sound.
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.
Super historical guitar, amazing tone, wonderful playing. I watched this after daily work, so impressed from this sweet movie. thanks for this!
My goodness that was just gorgeous!!! Your tone and touch really are unbelievably tasty....sooo good!!! Thanks for that
For those that don't know, this was the guitar's original name. Unfortunately, Gretch owned the name Broadcaster, so they had to change the name of the guitar. For awhile, it was known as "The Nocaster", but eventually Fender settled on a new name. Thus The Telecaster was born.
Simply... I love this guy!!!!
What a guitarist, wow!!
Sweet…!
THIS. . . Was absolutely beautiful!
Man that’s some great, great playin
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
Beautiful!!
This is just wonderful
Great tone, perfectly executed. This made my day, thank you!
Bravo!! Conjunción perfecta de amplificafor, gutarra y músico. Sobran más palabras....
I"m a firm believer in clean guitar, you deserve that Broadcaster !
Thank you for this one. Always love that jams with Telecaster and that Silverface Deluxe the most. Soo beautiful :) Thx!
That is one magic sound! One of the best clean tones ive heard on youtube 🎉
Wow! Great playing! Lovely Broadcaster
