Can't believe that there's no Back to the Future here. That's gotta be the most iconic guitar scene from a movie.

I was in a serious accident and was bleeding really heavily into my throat. When I was in the ER the doctor was trying to clear my airway and told the nurse that he wanted the suction turned to 11. The nurses didn’t get the joke so I pulled the oxygen mask off to tell him how much I appreciated his Spinal Tap reference. Later when I was going into surgery his was jamming out Big Balls by AC/DC and as I went under I was wondering if that was the last song I would ever hear.

How could you forget about Marty Mcfly turning on his big ass amp, and gets blown backwards as soon as he strums it! That's my Titanic moment. Then there's the scene where's he's filling in for the band at the dance. "I guess you guys are not ready for this yet, but your kids are gonna love it!" Maybe you should make this a series, and pick some more movies.

My man said “Fountains of Youth” lol… RIP Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne! Great band and great songs. Thanks for the fun content Samurai 👍🏻

The actors in "That Thing You Do" actually learned how to play their instruments, and even played a handful gigs. As far as the guitar case goes, I once had an Ibanez Destroyer whose case was very much held together with bumper stickers and duct tape, and it had no handle - so I had to carry it like he did.

I can't even imagine the horror one might experience when realizing you just destroyed a museum quality 1870s Martin. I think any 1870s Martin that still survives, regardless of condition would probably qualify as museum worthy!

FYI in the theatrical release of Wayne's World they used the actual notes from the start of the song, but it was changed for the video release and TV showings to save $$

The Hateful Eight scene breaks my heart knowing that they literally destroyed a priceless guitar

[brigantics]

guys, we all know that the greatest guitar scenes in movies is the ending to bill and ted's excellent adventure.

Great video!

I sometimes launch into 'Stairway to Heaven' when I'm in a guitar store to see the reaction. People usually spin around and have a good laugh, or quote 'Wayne's World.' It typically goes over the head of younger people who've never seen the movie.

You can't not include This Is Spinal Tap when talking about iconic guitar scenes, that one is definitely one of my all-time favourites but it does surprise me that some other scenes like Johnny B. Goode scene from Back to the Future, the concert at the end of School of Rock or any of the performance scenes from A Hard Day's Night film from The Beatles

I love the fact that she names very normal things on a guitar like they’re super rare. Lots of guitars have 3 single coils🤣

That Waynes World guitar is actually a new Squier with a Fender headstock decal slapped on it… I think in Wayne’s World 2 they actually got a Fender, but it was still a new guitar, not an original ‘64.

Thanks to Tarantino, Martin will no longer lend any guitars to a film production.

All the guitars in the Spinal Tap scene all were rented out to the movie by Norman’s Rare Guitars, and he also rented two guitars to Back to the Future, the first one was actually period correct until some suit said, “Marty should play a red guitar… and the only red semi-hollow/hollow guitar from the 1950s in the store was a Gibson ES-335 which wasn’t made until 1957… TWO YEARS after 1955!

Fun fact about the Crossroads guitar duel: everyone knows that Steve Vai did his own parts, but not many people know that Ralph Macchio’s parts were actually recorded by Ry Cooder, a supremely underrated player

[JksGuitarCave]

If I remember correctly, the Martin was worth significantly more than $40000. The 40k was what it was insured for as this was the purchase cost for the museum.

[coryman]

Not enough people are saying this, so I've gotta say, everyone did a great job playing the music for this video! Jenny's got a great voice too, didn't know she was a singer :O

[aliquidcow]

I never really knew if Tia Carrere was at all knowledgeable about guitars in real life, but I always kind of hoped not for her sake, so that she didn't feel too ridiculous saying the 'triple single-coil pickups and a whammy bar' line.

[msmoniz]

Bonus fact; the blond long haired sales person who stops Wayne from playing Stairway is Dana Strum who was in the Vinny Vincent Invasion and founding member of the late period hair pop/metal band Slaughter.

[streifig]

Thanks for tapping into the guitar movies that I used to watch in my formative years. This was a great nostalgic watch.

If I may, I think the guitar case scene in "The Thing You Do" was done like that intentionally, to outline the awkwardness of the situation. I remember that it felt uneasy that he didn't stormed out but had to pack his guitar, and the uncomfortable handling of the guitar case and the door highlighted that.

Can’t believe the film Six String Samurai isn’t mentioned here. Totally in the theme, a gem.
