It's no secret Michael J Fox is an accomplished guitarist. But what you may not realise is he was always a good one – and though he didn't play the final solo in the Johnny B Goode scene towards the end of the film, the fiery shred licks in Back To The Future's iconic "you're just too damned loud" high school dance audition scene were all Fox. And this video proves it.
The archive 1985 footage below shows a 23--year-old Fox and his guitar teacher for the film, a very rock n' roll-looking Paul Hanson, prepping for the scene, set in a school gymnasium. "He's an amazing guitar and a really talented musician," notes Fox of Hanson. "And a great teacher - really patient."
