    I read an interview with one of the production staff of BTTF a while ago where it was pointed out that most of the guitar was mimed higher up on the fretboard than it should have been, and apparently it was deliberate so that both of Michael's hands would stay on screen in the 4:3 cut for TV and VHS - Michael learned the whole track properly, then had to relearn how to play it wrong, which actually makes a pretty good mime job even better, haha.

    Among guitar aficionados it is often pointed out that Marty is playing a Gibson ES 335 which wasn't introduced until 1958. And truth be told the one Marty is playing is from a later model year because it has split block neck markers and a bigsby vibrato which were not available until a few years after the introduction. But hey, he travelled back in time in a Delorean so let's not quibble over the small stuff. And it is a terrific movie.

      @@reuvengershon6625 I initially thought the same thing but the 345 usually has the varitone which is not present on Marty's guitar. I believe that the fancier neck inlays were used on 335s in the early 60's although I could be wrong. Gibson currently sells a 345 without the varitone. I guess most people don't like them. The old saying about the varitone is that position 1 sounds like B.B. King and the other positions sound like shit.

      Well, see it was some kind of butterfly effect caused by warping space time, and stuff because that was the only way the timeline could exist -- if there was a guitar available that he knew how to play. And he only knew how to play the Erlewine Chiquita, the Pinheads Ibanez and the ES-335.
      And yes, it's rated as a 9/10 Low Masterpiece, and is basically flawless. IMO it still holds up, but apparently has limited appeal (thus not a 10/10 High Masterpiece).

    I'll bet they recorded the actual songs after filming the scenes. The most popular and original version of "Earth Angel" by the Penguins is in the key of A, and that's the chord prog MJF appears to be playing. He also says "blues riff in B" right before he "plays" the song, so he was correct on his end. Not his fault that they dubbed a song in Bb over it.

      YEP! As a young guitar player having got some inspiration from Back to the Future... I was sadly disappointed how there was no way to overdrive a mid 50's amp like that. A old dog guitarist who owned the classic 50's gear had to explain that they were engineering to specifically not to distort back then. Makes me giggle thinking of taking my baritone guitar and the modern metal gear I use today back to the 50's. Start playing Slayer... I doubt ears from the 50's would even connect it to what is supposed to sound evil... it would probably be so foreign it would sound like alien noises to them. But maybe Marty made a quick stop in the 60's to get some gear and planted it there later... you know like what Bill and Ted did. ^_^

      @@BradleyHallGuitar naah, it was just in a different key. That change was probably made at editing. Fox's playing is in key relative to itself. It's a blues shuffle in A (the 2nd Chuck Berry one. The other one is also up a whole step).. The audio, however, is in B. I'm going to guess they changed the key to fit the session vocalists prime range, to "sound like" it could be coming from Marty McFly.
      Frankly, they did that aspect really, really well I thought. Most movies where they get a session singer to sing the protagonists' singing part - it sounds clearly like Celine Dion coming from Jenny McCarthy's fat face - type thing!😂 Clearly wrong! Or, say Michael Bolton type male vocals doing out of "Jim" from American Pie.😌 Clearly a dub in.
      (I think they did that as a gag on the South Park: Bigger, Thicker, Uncut movie. That resistance freedom fighter kid, sounding like Michael Bolton when he sings!😂 So funny!)
      And the only fallout is "know it all" guitar players in 30 years will be like...."🧐 Hmmm...it sounds incorrect - it must be COMPLETELY WRONG!☝️🤨"
      Yeah, it's in B, not A. Play along ⬆️a step, and you'll see...it all suddenly fits.

    The strange thing is this scene from the movie did sort of happen in real life at a live soc hop in Fredericksburg, Virginia, in early 1958. Link Wray and the Ray Men were asked to play a song called "The Stroll" for a vocal group called the "Diamonds" that were there. Link's drummer and bass player knew it but Link didn't. They started playing it so Link walked over to his Premier Amp dimed the amp volume all the way up to ten along with the tremolo effect built into the amp and started power chording to what his drummer and bass player were playing. The bass player grabbed a mic and stuck it in front of the amp. The power chords were now thundering through the PA speakers with a strange throbbing effect from the tremolo also being cranked up. The teens at the soc hop all rushed up to the stage and started slamming their fists on the front of the stage in time with the beat. It was an instant hit with the kids and they demanded Link keep playing it so Link and his Ray Men played it four times that night. The kids dubbed it "Oddball" but Link and the Wray Men recorded it a short time later, and it became known as "THE RUMBLE". It became a hit charting up to #16 and became so popular with gangs they would all go nuts and start fights whenever it came on the radio (it was banned from airplay in NYC). Guitarists Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Pete Townsend have all said that song was life changing because it was essentially the first use of power chords in a cranked up distorted amp. It's what inspired them to take all of the blues music they were learning and fuse it with power chords through ear splitting cranked up amps.

    1 thing for sure, Michael can play guitar and these tunes specifically.
    2 possibilities: all his guitar strings were tuned half step down so the sounds came out in Bb while he's playing in B like he said - or, the audio was pitched down during the editing process.
    The scene where he played different chords progression than what can be heard was possibly the editor's fault, while the rest was part of the scenario of him losing his ability to play.

      @@Stigmatix666 That´s not the reason, actually MJF playing is on spot except for the last solo, the real problem is that the editors use tracks that are a half step down from the originals, if you compare Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry with the movie version you'll notice inmediatly, i found this video pretty unfair cause @bradleyhallguitar knows this detail, but he deliveratly ignore it to make MJF look like a fake, but he is aware that the playing of MJF makes perfect harmonic sense with the origonal realese of the tunes depicted in the movie, not only this two, but HL&TN's Power Of Love to.
