Your fave Jonny Greenwood solo? Share it here!

[@matthewcrome5835]

My favorite is in House of Cards when he uses a coin and it just sounds like he's channeled another universe

[@lsdani666]

paranoid android

[@ghoul1998]

There there

[@thefuturist8864]

He plays guitar like it’s a saxophone.

[@MusicMatters_SC]

Hahaha you’re not wrong

[@David-iv6je]

Nice take. Big melodic leaps. Most guitar players don't do that, especially since shredding is so popular.

[@tonnynaomi3926]

I love Jonny's guitar solos. It's... well I don't want to say "punky" bc the songs aren't really punk. But the solos definitely carries a lot of edges to them

[@MusicMatters_SC]

Yeah they have a unique taste to them for sure

[@Jaceno]

They are angular and the timbre of the notes are harsh.

[@Jaceno]

His solos are angular and the timbre of the notes are harsh.

[@MusicMatters_SC]

@@Jaceno that wouldn’t make sense under normal circumstances but with Johnny it’s spot on 👌🏼

[@matimus100]

Cartoon love's anything

[@brandonromes9673]

1. Banana Co. 2. There There 3. Just 4. Go To Sleep 5. My Iron Lung 6. The Tourist 7. Paranoid Android

[@MusicMatters_SC]

A fellow Radiohead fan I see 📻 😁

[@chadczternastek]

Ty, I love Radiohead fans;

[@CorduroyPaco]

the guitar "solo" Jonny rips in the documentary, "Meeting People Is Easy" when he's on stage and the camera is looking up at him is one of the greatest sounds I've ever heard in my entire life! It sounds like a melodic plane landing

[@GIBKEL]

He is a reluctant guitar hero. I love his vibe and he does it unconsciously. I just watched his Bending Hectic Live from Montreux solo…I’m not sure if I call his work soloing.. it’s transcendent. He has reimagined the role and the instrument he draws you in and it grooves in a strange way. Jimmy Page swung hard. Johnny ‘vibes’ for a lack of a better word while adding flourishes along with the whole band. That makes their music so unique and what a catalog. I constantly revisit finding new ideas that I missed. It’s in the dark corners where you find the light.

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

It's a shame the album version of Go To Sleep cuts off so quickly. That experimental outro elevates the song.

[@MusicMatters_SC]

A man of fine taste I see 👌🏼

[@arealrobot1]

I find you in every radiohead/the smile comment section haha

[@Aboul7alib]

2:22 he turned his guitar into a regi pokemon

[@marcia7115]

My little bro plays in a band and they are always telling him to face the crowd because like Johnny he tends to face the speakers and gets lost in the music and its like he forgets that hes got an audience. Johnny is a muscal genius and then add Toms lyrical genius and you get the best band of our generation. And to think i saw them many years ago at a little venue called The Market Tavern just after they released Anyone can Play Guitar. Knew they'd be big but not THIS big.❤

[@riffpick7832]

He's got one the most unique feelings I know

[@ENJTHETRAVEL]

Johnny , thom, Radiohead, the Smile …. My life

[@MusicmadebyDA]

My favorite guitarist. Homie is a master of melodic modalities.

[@losangulos]

Very expressive guitarrist a unique voice like issac brock, stephen malkmus etc

[@nomadvideomachine]

That first solo is fantastic! I feel there is a Radiohead period just around the corner ❤

[@jackpijjin4088]

Man. I know some folks would probably claim he's just playing random notes, but every time he freestyles he's doing it in the correct scales and rhythms. Radiohead just uses chords and scales that aren't too common in most popular music. There's no wrong notes. It's all deliberate and it's awesome.

[@MothsInALampshade]

The Go To Sleep clip, either the phone recording it was unable to pick up the rest of the band or it was edited to not include the other instruments, but Johnny Greenwood's playing on that track is some of the most inspired guitar work in the history of rock music.

[@QKvox]

Nice dream and Go Slowly both have really cool solos

[@MusicMatters_SC]

Nice Dream is a beast of a solo

[@kevinoconnell1983]

Love Radiohead but they really need a new lighting designer...

[@liadcohen8327]

Sounds like you've never seen them actually live. They need no such thing.

[@lsweed]

Seen them three times and I agree. I would like to see them in better lighting. Too dark.

[@TonyHawkTuah]

His solos are Pure Energy. Period.

[@gazw9079]

Talented guy fck made his guitar sound like a zx spectrum loading

[@MusicMatters_SC]

😂

[@HoboInTaiwan]

Solo 4 is awesome. What fx is Jonny using here?

[@MusicMatters_SC]

Great question, anyone know?

[@mynameisjohn987]

Max/Msp patch or sum it’s some kind of glitch effect he’s programming it

[@MusicMatters_SC]

@@mynameisjohn987 nice!!

[@eoin.1.2]

Theres a pedal that does the same thing by the king of gear i think

[@MusicMatters_SC]

@@eoin.1.2 nice, thanks for the heads up!

[@brettbartletti7847]

My favorite guitarist ever!

[@kirkmbutterfield]

I rub my wrist hard when going hard on electric which fucking weird. Because I never wrist slam on a old acoustic. I see why he wears a brace. Also glad you didn't die from your infection.

[@dragpagsh6322]

Banana so is so underreted

[@MusicMatters_SC]

Couldn’t agree more 👌🏼

[@joeyrossiter3763]

If bizarre, you mean brilliant, then yes

[@MusicMatters_SC]

Haha I kinda meant both!

[@JackieSwisher619]

It’s like someone put Steve Howe in a microwave.

[@112productions]

Lmao. Sounds like a dog in the garden. Only Johnny could find and play that. 1:21

[@JackieSwisher619]

The Tourist

[@bristolfashion4421]

all the best solos are played on guitars

[@MusicMatters_SC]

Correct

[@AlexanderJordanopoulos]

I can't understand what he is doing in Go To Sleep 😂

[@MusicMatters_SC]

I feel the same way about his entire career 😂

[@bepishes]

he's just glitching out the guitar using computer stuff

[@MusicMatters_SC]

@@bepishes “just”

[@aperezto]

Doing a tom morello solo

[@ConnorFogartyVO]

He’s just playing random shit through his computer program he made. The actual playing of that isn’t difficult and anyone can just hit completely random notes really fast and all over the place, where Jonny is really clever here is his application of this program in music, and the fact that HE programmed the software himself

[@highso858]

he look evil with guitar he look cute without guitar

[@MusicMatters_SC]

Hella cute

[@feichufeichu5338]

Banana co. There there. Just. Go to sleep. My iron lung. The tourist. Paranoid android. 😎

[@Mollusc_music_and_memes]

What’s the first song?

[@Mo_onsta]

Banana co

[@sinnerboy6009]

Less notes but super hard to copy

[@andginisin]

Go to sleep he’s just off in his own little world lol

[@watermusic4381]

Sometimes Im not sure Jonny can actually play the guitar.

[@firl4058]

He is good at it but he really gets nervous in stage, is easily notable.

[@dcxrtcvain4209]

He's "good" at almost any instrument, but he's not like trying to be the best at it by doing boring crazy shreds, he threat his instrument as a absolute creative tools and not just "guitar should be played like most guitar does", more of a "magic wand" to the song.

[@RunOfTheHind]

Weird solos or... "I'm bored".

[@lexception5120]

Frusciante se lo come y escupe.

[@MusicMatters_SC]

🎸🌶

[@Menendidas]

no tienen nada que ver, son brutales los dos

[@lexception5120]

En Radiohead hay un track llamado JUST que le rinde homenaje a Frusciante cuando este andaba de indigente. amigo!!!!!

[@aperezto]

Jonny es más que un simple guitarrista brother, el ha ganado hasta premios Oscares por sus complejas composiciones. Fruciante es drogadictillo que toca bien la guitarra, sólo eso.

[@lexception5120]

hahahaha Separa el artista del hombre amigo! Fruscinate se lo come entero y gano porque hace la musica de Paul Thomas Anderson ! Frusciante esta a otro nivel busca un vs de solos ! y googlea John Frusciante! @@aperezto

[@fardman2424]

First one is straight up turkish wedding music
