- 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:

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.
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 🤣.
Some of the most tasteful playing you will find on TH-cam - or anywhere for that matter. Thank you Tobias for your talent and for showing off the genius of the Telecaster...
He’s the best!🙌
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!
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.
A fantastic instrument and equally fantastic player to present it. Wonderful!
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
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.
Incredible guitar but Tobias Hoffman makes it work. He is what everyone want to ear in a guitar demo: a good player
The playing and the guitar are pure magic & beautiful together thanks 🙏🏾 no crunch ….stardust
Perfect phrasing, warm tone, calm attack, windswept hair.
This is beyond incredible. Thank you, Tobias!
That guy is an INSANELY creative player
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 😮👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
So great to hear these old guitars played so beautifully and tastefully
That guitar sounds so good and the playing is just on another level.
That man is a musical treasure.
That was amazing. Beautiful playing on a wonderful sounding Tele. I will listen to this again and again - thank you VGO.
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 !!!!
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
Beautiful playing and sound on a magical guitar. Sooooo good! Thankyou.
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.
Thats how to use a looper without over using a looper.
I have never heard any modern day production guitar sound so sweet, incl. custom shop guitars. amazing guitar and amazing playing.
The Lofi end was just too good 😩 beautiful playing !
What a gorgeous tone.
Great picking.
no matter how wonderful / expensive your guitar is if you play it without a soul and joy it will be worthless.
Perfect sound and playing! Bravo!
Fantastic guitar and fantastic playing!
Oh my!! It doesn’t get any better than this!!!
Every tone is gorgeous. Lovely guitar, lovely feeling 🎼🎸❤
The joy in his playing is inspiring❤
when madness meets technique and intelligence.
That's sublime. Music at its peak
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!!
That guitar is pure love.
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.
TH-cam is awful for interrupting this great performance with a commercial.
That sounds absolutely incredibly beautiful! Great playing too!
Extraordinary a player and a guitar, thank for this very plaisant moment ! 🙏
Simply sublime playing!
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
The recording quality and playing makes this video sounds so majestic
What a player! Stunning tone
Woow el final majestuoso
made me cry like a baby ...
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...
Amazing American Guitar, ... Amazing American amp, .....Amazing American song,...... german hair
I know this broadcaster and it is a great guitar. With Tobias playing it, is even sounds much better linke in an other dimension!
That ending is particularly visceral. Wonderful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Best Guitar tone on TH-cam
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 😋
Which jazz standard is this? Incredible version
Hoagy Carmichael's "Georgia On My Mind."
These video archives are a treasure
In a few moments I thought I was listening to Édith Piaf singing
Sublime playing, and more proof that Leo got it right the first time.
Love coming back to these videos . . . Thanks, Vintage Guitar Oldenburg!
A guitar has mojo, or it does not.. it is not related to price , but the resonance , and depth has to accessable, and be there in the first place...it's atoms and vibrations,.....
I saw his hair and knew it was gona be a good jam🤙🏻💯
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!
fantastique comme joue Mr Tobias Hoffmann et avec une superbe et rare Broadcaster ..
This should have more views than Susan Boyle. Ppl have no idea
if this take isn't doctored, why would anyone try build anything but a telecaster of this spec. nothing has been improved on in 7-8 decades of guitar development. these teles are the epitome of electric guitar development. same with the fender amps. leo fender and staff were geniuses.
Many can shred. Few can play. Tobias plays.
I enjoy your intros leading to your loops. Very smooth. 🥰👏🏻
Exquisite.
Was für eine Gitarre habt ihr da gefunden! Unglaublich und sehr schöne Demo. Georgia on my mind war sehr schön und elegant gespielt.
Man that’s some great, great playin
sounds so good both the player and the guitar
What a rock solid tone, beautiful
Der heilige Gral, gespielt von einem Großmeister seines Fachs. Ganz großes Kino.
Thank you : 1 hour of bridge pic up AND 2 minutes of neck pic up : NONSENSE
Does this guy hates a neck pick up ? looks like he does . Why you don´t play it ?
Dear sir, thanks again for this. I cant stop watching it. I think you are totally at one with The Source when you play and as such you are a conduit for its expression. Please an you tell me which style of music this is. The dreamy 1950's music, does it have a specific name? Its alot of jazz isnt it? Anyways With all the love, Pandelis
Sweet…!
Gorgeous.
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!
awesome beautiful
Just full of ideas after listening to each of these videos. Fantastic player , great guitars too !!
Roy Buchanan from Germany.
My goodness that was just gorgeous!!! Your tone and touch really are unbelievably tasty....sooo good!!! Thanks for that
Best tele tone ive ever heardd
Such sweet and mellow tone.
Super great demo, gorgeous sound 😎
This is the best example, that the Telecaster had it all from the start.
That was AMAZING.
Neck pick up of a Tele is underrated
Great tone, perfectly executed. This made my day, thank you!
Man, you are one of the most tasteful and imaginative players I've ever heard. Incredible. Nice guitar too, thanks for posting🤯
Fantastic picking! THX
Thank you for this one. Always love that jams with Telecaster and that Silverface Deluxe the most. Soo beautiful :) Thx!
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.
Einfach toll! Der Klang der Gitarre, die Aufnahme und vor allem das Spiel vom Tobias - vielen Dank!
This is just wonderful
Absolutely Beautiful and masterful .. please can you tell us what the backing track is for that tune .. cheers
The song is Georgia on my mind, Ray Charles probably did the most well known version. Tobias makes his own loops, so here it’s the chords for the song.
Bravo!! Conjunción perfecta de amplificafor, gutarra y músico. Sobran más palabras....
Wonderful playing. 😄😄
That neck pickup has a gorgeous, flute-like tone. They knew how to wind them back then.
Hello, from GA👋
Wow, ich habe selten eine Blackguard mit einem derart spritzig-transparent klingendem Neck Pickup Sound gehört.
Tobias, you are incredible. So much beauty in your playing.
