Jonny Greenwood FRAGILE

[bastiangallego]

NICE NAME

[Bluewarriorshreds]

Any relation to Jack Lacey Greenwood?

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@Bluewarriorshreds I'm afraid not. Is he a musician?

[TheBeddington]

quite boring really sorry don't have any grab me sounds! sorry at least ur trying bro

[willman37]

u r a pussy for having johnny greenwood in the name

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@willman37 Its my name and and I wrote and performed the instrumental. I've made it quite clear I'm not the Radiohead guitarist.

[Cwally72]

@willman37 u r a pussy for misspelling jonny.

[HClose77]

@willman37 Spell jonny greenwood's name right before talking shit, Genius! Like the video!

[SendInTheChickens]

@willman37 it's the guy's name you fucking idiot.

[VinylTee]

@willman37 fuck you

[19618024]

Look, there are 27 deaf people. negative creeps

[MrSigi1990]

are u playing lydian?

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@MrSigi1990 No which section do you think sounds lydian? Its all mainly natural minor and pentatonic stuff with with some minor 9 arpeggios (major 7 shape played a minor third above the root).

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@MrSigi1990 I'm not the Radiohead guitarist. This was for guitarist of the year competition so its kind of meant to be along the lines of Vai, Satch etc. I'm more into John Petrucci and Malmsteen as far as shredders go but I wanted to show my more melodic side in the intro and outro sections. So I was thinking somewhere between a Dave Gilmour solo and a modern Jeff Beck sound.

[ElHoden]

Came because of Radiohead's Jonny, stayed because of this Jonny

awesome work mate!

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@ElHoden Thanks I'm glad you like my song. Please check out my covers and improvisations too.

[iSabotage]

Awesome!!!!11one

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@iSabotage Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[JohnCusley]

id say most of the dislikes are because of the title

[LoseCannonCop]

TABS???

[skyglide100]

is he the radiohead johnny green wood

[SuperiFox]

@skyglide100 Nope!

[ElAullidoDeLaNada]

Incredible guitarist. Good job, man.

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@ElAullidoDeLaNada Thanks I appreciate it.

[Alexander3487]

Congratulations, you have talent and I have to say that I can notice a hint of John Petrucci`s style in your performance and the composition of course.

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@Alexander3487 Thanks for the compliment. Yeah J P is a big influence of mine.

[aircrashburn]

you're good man!

which stand do you use?

is the "ErgoPlay Tappert Guitar Support (Right Handed)" one?

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@aircrashburn Yes that's it. I'm glad you like the video.

[seventeenthree]

fake, that's not jonny greenwood

[ShazerThe]

@seventeenthree obvious troll is obvious

[RadicalRevs]

need a longer version of this!!! soo awesome!

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@RadicalRevs This is a live take over the backing from the "radio edit" version I made to enter guitarist of the year, so I have a version that's six minutes. I think the intro section is longer and the arpeggio riff sections are slightly longer too. It also has a slightly different first solo but I think I prefer my take on this one.

[batman59]

Woo you are really really good man

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@batman59 Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

[lambgtr7]

is the stand really neccesary?? hahahahah

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@lambgtr7 Yes. This position is much better for my back and hands than being hunched over my guitar all day.

[imbaeric]

@lambgtr7 nothing to laugh about. it's not rare that you get chronic injuries in your back/shoulders from playing while sitting in an awkward position year out and year in..

[neonpike]

youtube induced short attention span override .... that kept me inerested right to the end 

[FaceofFrequency]

Another Radiohead fan here.

Happy that is.

[stripeyninga]

you should change your stage name, seriously.. i have a friend called will smith who plays music. he goes by his middle name Sid smith

[thousandsofangels]

your guitar position is increasingly blowing my mond.

killer song too :)

Radiohead fans loving you must be nice ^_^

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@thousandsofangels I use my ergoplay classical guitar support for electric and play in the orthodox classical position cos it means I can keep my back and shoulders in a more natural positionand the guitar position helps me access all the frets better. Thanks for the compliment about the song. Sharing the name of the Radiohead guitarist seems to be a bit of a double edged sword.

[MyBottletree]

@JonnyGreenwoodguitar

Well done, but let me know something...telling that it's a double edged sword, having this name isn't really serious or am I wrong?

I mean, I guess that your name is Jonathan, or John or something, but not exactly JONNY? + without the H...

Just wanted to know..

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@MyBottletree Yeah my name's Jonathan, but people have called me Jonny (no h as I'm not John that's my dad's name) since primary school. I didn't know that was the Radiohead guitarists name till I was about 18 and he got mentioned in a guitar mag. Its just some people on here seem to think its some kind of deliberate deception.

[MyBottletree]

@JonnyGreenwoodguitar

Okay =) Good music by the way

[EndeavorLeadGtr]

Very good playing man, are you a Radiohead fan? haha

[josemontenegro777]

lol I thought you were Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, nice playing

[zucc2]

Really Nice !

Good sound and style !

[red33m23]

I like how your fingers dance through the frets!

awesome..sent to favorites..

I do agree though that the solo part didn't fit in.

[bombtom512]

dude your name would be such an inconvenience when youre getting a gig somewhere or something.

"Did you hear, Jonny Greenwoods here tonight"

"Oh it cant be THE jonny greenwood, probably someone with the same name"

"But it says he's playing guitar"

"Oh it must be him then..."

[stephendedalusbc]

First part was amazing but I think the beggining of the solo didn't fit in mate, the rest was amazing

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@stephendedalusbc Thanks I'm glad you liked most of it. Perhaps I could have played into the first solo a bit better. I was originally written to be a song rather than an instrumental and the solos were already written and I had riffs similar to the arpreggio parts on the 5th and 6th string. So there was supposed to be a kind of interuption from the solo there. I'll try to play into the solos more in future tracks.

[stephendedalusbc]

@JonnyGreenwoodguitar Yeah I really loved the first and second part. Returning to the solo the first 5 notes are perfect and I think you should keep on that kind of rythm and mood, make it a "fragile" solo. Apply what means being "fragile" to the solo you know cuz it has to be the moment where you express what you feel one on one with the listener. Know what I mean ? ;)

[maxrome67]

Let's form a band, assuming your in the UK...........

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@maxrome67 Perhaps if you find yourself living in Yorkshire. I see you're in Wales. I've listened to a few of your tracks. You sound a bit like James Dean Bradfield from the Manic street preachers.

[maxrome67]

@JonnyGreenwoodguitar Ahh Yorkshire, what a shame your'e that far, coincidently my tracks were recorded by a Yorkshire guy here in Wales.......;)

Thanks for listening to my tracks, and thanks for the compliment, a few ppl say I sound like JDB.......lol.

If you move down to Wales let me know eh, the offer will still be standing....:)

Your a wicked guitarist btw, lookin forward to hearing sum more of your stuff bud..........

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@maxrome67 Thanks. I've got quite a few more pieces written, I just need the time and money to get them recorded. I don't have any recording equipment of my own. I'll probably be posting more covers and improvising fairly soon though.

[maxrome67]

@JonnyGreenwoodguitar good luck with that, hope you get some recording equipment of your own soon bud.

All the best

[FlyingFuckstorm]

That is a nice fucking guitar.

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@FlyingFuckstorm Thanks

[ShazerThe]

Well, I gotta say, I was looking for Radiohead stuff... but this really impressed me. It's really good. I wish you the best of luck with your music. :)

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@ShazerThe Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[ShazerThe]

So... does this has nothing to do with Jonny Greewood/Radiohead?

[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@ShazerThe My name is Jonny Greenwood and this is one of my instrumentals. I'm nothing to do with radiohead despite having the same name as the lead guitarist, though I'm influenced by them in some respects.

[paulcusick]

Nice



[JonnyGreenwoodguitar]

@paulcusick Thanks Paul I'm glad you like the track. I'm looking forward to P'dice. Give me a shout if you need a live guitarist.
