Members Ged LST Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hrmnn, was sure it wasn't Michael J Fox actually playing. Legend that he is. - Ged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jerry_picker Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 He is playing Gibson ES 345 in 1955, but they were not produced until after 1958??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members csm Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hate to burst any bubbles, but the guitar in that scene was played by Tim May (whoever he is). Big ups to MJF (who's actually played guitar since the age of 8) for being sufficiently nifty fingerwise to mime it convincingly enough to fool some of the above on this board. For the record, he wasn't singing the song either. The vocalist was one Mark Campbell (whoever he is.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Doctor Morbius Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 Not Fox. Excellent playing though! Great cover of Chuck Berry's 1958 Rock 'n Roll standard, recordedfor the 1985 movie Back To The Future. Vocals in this version byMark Campbell, guitar by Tim May.

Members adlo76 Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 yea, not him playing though he does / did play. i'm pretty certain too that during the filming they had a guitar coach on set for him...i can't remember who it was but he was pretty well known in guitar circles in the 80's....lots of magazine coverage and what not....did a lot of instructional vids if i remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members adlo76 Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 just looked it up, Tim May played it and Paul Hansen coached MJF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
