Adam Hanly people say this about EVERY SINGLE musician who's performed for over 10 years. Cmon if you grew up with him you'd see age, but you see pictures of him from years apart from every day
I'm studying to be a nurse. Sometimes when my brain starts to hurt during study sessions, I take a fifteen minute break and watch Jonny Greenwood play this. My favorite musician of all time playing one of my favorite pieces of all time. It's the perfect reset.
Most underrated guitarist of all time. The work he has done with Radiohead and others shows that it doesn't always need to be about 80's hair-metal solos to make a top-ten list. Jonny deserves his place as one of the greats.
It makes sense to me, Johnny Greenwood rarely plays the guitar the normal way, as you "should"/ like it's a guitar. That's what makes his stuff interesting. However, I wouldn't personally call him an "underrated guitarist". Firstly, he's kind of famous. Secondly, Greenwood is known and cherished for picking up interesting pieces from other (less known) musicians and turning them into pop music. That's his thing and what he does best. Inventing new music he does not. (Not putting any negative values into this.)
you don't think he invents new music?! It's possibly what he does best. He's a very original composer. My personal favorites of his are Piano For Children and Prospectors Arrive from There Will Be Blood.
Marz E He is definitely a talented and open minded composer, but I wouldn't say he is exploring new territories in music. It's hard to imagine Jonny Greenwood's music without the influences of Arvo Pärt or Steve Reich, for example.
What I love the most about Jonny is that he appears completely content to just stand there and play like a genius while Thom takes center stage & Jonny doesn’t try to compete for attention. A true artist and musician.
Jonny completely changed my perspective as a guitarist. Broadened my horizons and helped me become more fearless. I owe this man so much for extending my career in his indirect way. The most humble of genius's as well.
This is Jonny Greenwood playing Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint for Electric Guitar. It was performed for the first time by Pat Metheny. About Mike Oldfield and Robert Fripp, both were influenced by Steve Reich in different periods. In fact, Mike Oldfield was influenced before. Mike Oldfield made a cover of North Star of Philip Glass in 1979's Platinum album. Around 1978-1979 Fripp watched Reich's performing with Eno and Belew as audience. Manuel Göttscjhing was influenced by Steve Reich around 1973-1974, you can check Inventions For Electric Guitar album. All those people, from Progressive rock, Ambient, New Wave, at the end were influenced by Minimalism. So, the idea was in the air.
I saw Jonny perform this last autumn as part of a fundraiser for the earthquake-affected area in Central Italy close to his heart. I was overwhelmed and cried, partly because of it's beauty and partly because I never thought that I'd have had the chance to hear it in person being performed. What can I say?? 🙏💕🇮🇹
It is no surprise to see Jonny showing his admiration for Steve Reich. The man is quite radical and virtually invented sampling and looping... something Jonny and the boys are rather fond of.
Jonny is a composer first and foremost, he repeated many times that guitars are just tools. He can play so many instruments and really shines creatively.. underrated artist
Wow he's got so many layers going an playing along with still adding more. How the heck one could keep track of where they are in the piece. Amazing work of art.
I made a mashup once - Pat Metheny all in left speaker, Greenwood all in the right speaker. Everything matches perfectly, no editing had to be done! Best version of Electric Counterpoints and an unlikely collaboration of two remarkable guitarists.))
It was like dreamtime. What I love about this vid is that you can hear people coughing, although it's a festival where Johnny fucking Greenwood is playing. Priceless.
What a piece- wicked- the most recent Smile album has that insane guitar, like Jonny putting in work like I don't think he's ever laid down on record before- 50s and transforming his style and hitting new heights, but you can see the Genesis of it RIGHT HERE! So glad I cam across it. The single "Zero Sum", maybe the most mind blowing playing he has ever done for a Studio release so if he's done it at all maybe it lives in the world of YT but with the tippy AI video - anyone who hasn't seen it treat yourself and make that your next YT stop for a 3 min roller coaster of Greenwood.
May 28th 2024 1:17am Not sure if I traveled into another dimension in time. I'm not sure what I'm listening to. It is mesmerizing. He is playing on another level that is above anything you would hear on a FM station. I frequently tune into wprb 103.3 Princeton Thanks for posting this very interesting piece of work.
oh wow, one of my favourite guitar players from one of my favourite bands of all time, playing a theme from one of my favourite composers (reich) and guitarists of all time (metheny) wtf haha
It would be really cool to see this with a whole orchestra of different guitar players with different guitars with different guitars and amps settings so you get a huge smattering of tones and tambres
This isn't a loop, but rather a conventionally notated classical piece by Steve Reich for live player and a pre-recorded track. It is played exactly note for note as it was originally written in 1987.
Jonny's aged like 5 years since the 93 mtv 'creep' performance
not even 5 xD

Adam Hanly oh my god right??
They definitely don't say that about Thom..
Christian Castellanos no way.... case in point being Thom.

Also him at Oscar
oh man that makes me laugh so much. thanks!

Big respect to you for the career you are going into. Glad to know you appreciate this piece like I do!
That's beautiful
I've never heard this before
I played it right after John Cale and I'm blown away
Have you listened to John Cale
Jonny not on Telecaster makes me feel weird
nesfan8 I believe that’s Johnny Marr’s guitar that he just gifted him.
D Escalade really?? I’ve seen him play the Les paul with another group and I feel like it was a while back
He plays a Starcaster on some tunes :)
@@musiccellarmillerton pyramid song with a bow
wait til you see jonny on a les paul and thom on mustang/starfire bass with the smile!
It took Jonny 30 extra years to transition from teenager to adult.
Yes he's 25 now lmao
he's an alien from a planet where they communicate with guitar harmonies as their main language
One of the most underrated comments on RUclips
We can do that on earth now too. 😉
!
I've been saying this about him and Thom

how come he kinda hate playing guitar but play it extremely good?

Absolute genius and super shy and humble. Sorry to have discovered Radiohead's music and its members only 9 years ago. Better late than never!
Jonny jawline game
fr doe 😳
Must have been mewing a lot xd
Incredible performance of one of the greatest pieces of music of all time
I love how the youtube video 'stabilization' adds to the overall psychedelia of this video :w
look at those cuuurrrtaaaaiinnnsss
Initially I regretted allowing RUclips to stabalise. But I think you are right. It suits the song.
Jonny completely changed my perspective as a guitarist. Broadened my horizons and helped me become more fearless. I owe this man so much for extending my career in his indirect way. The most humble of genius's as well.
hey, i can see jonny's face
That's exactly what I thought lol
and he's so good looking
@@valleyofthedolls he is one handsome boy
weird innit
last night i had trouble sleeping, so i started listening to random Radiohead music on youtube in bed. I fell asleep but woke up to this...
i bet Jonny's dream is to duplicate himself and made a band with himself playing all the instruments.
I've dreamed about that a couple of times myself. Problem is that i can only play the kazoo and a bit of triangle.
Kurorin Haha..the funniest part is he can actually play all the instruments necessary to make a great band and even more.
he must of been so excited when ableton live was invented and he could do just that, but using a laptop
Def Operator maybe that's why he programed a "shitty Live copy" in Max for TKOL
Kurorin What if he already did?..

It’s not about your guitar skills john, it’s about your beautiful ideas.
This is Steve Reich's composition.
👍😁
Try it sometime
Who's john?

Wow this changes things a lot knowing that this isn’t something Jonny composed, but something he had to teach himself with sheet music
Thank you for more context!
Fascinating to look into Jonny's eyes while he's playing...
He looks like a fucking angel and sounds like he's coming to save us all from our nightmares, this is so pure, pure fucking talent, PURE.
"creep" was written about him... "you're just like an angel".
PS: If anyone finds themselves offended at my comment, I am joking.
9:53 - 10:53 looks like a scene taken straight outta movie. he's so beautiful 🖤
I saw Jonny perform this last autumn as part of a fundraiser for the earthquake-affected area in Central Italy close to his heart. I was overwhelmed and cried, partly because of it's beauty and partly because I never thought that I'd have had the chance to hear it in person being performed. What can I say?? 🙏💕🇮🇹
Beautiful chords
9:55 i see everyone's getting thirst trapped by that MAJESTIC hair
It is no surprise to see Jonny showing his admiration for Steve Reich. The man is quite radical and virtually invented sampling and looping... something Jonny and the boys are rather fond of.
As much as I like Steve Reich, didn't Bach invent sampling and looping? That's a fugue.
Andrew Was...that sarcasm?
Steve Reich didn't invent sampling what the hell

he is beautiful,,,,, I'm crying
Seen him with the smile in Glasgow, he was unbelievable that night,🎸👍
He is so beautiful, and his hair OMG!!!!!! ♥️😲🐰😲🐾🐾
Ugh he's just... Uh. Such an awesome human being.
14 minutes of Pure Jonny what more could you ask for?💙💙💙💙
I just found this. I have SO much respect for Jonny. Once again I am just in awe.
Jonny beautifully executes THE perfect, double hair flip at 9 min. and 55 sec. into this video! ;D Love it!!!
Jonny Greenwood and Steve Reich, what a combination!
The true heart and soul of Radiohead is Johnny Greenwood.
Mmm But can he write a song?;) While I agree he is amazing and beautiful I don't think he could he ever write a song like Exit music...
@@DanGulinobass yes he can, he did it and still do it. Don't you have listened his soundtracks ?
@@DanGulinobass What you said is so stupid. Have you heard his scores for movies and his albums??
@@DanGulinobass Do you mean lyrically? Probably not. But instrumentally, probably.
It’s Thom Yorke bro
Just an unreal expansion upon a magnificent work. utterly supurb.
It was like dreamtime. What I love about this vid is that you can hear people coughing, although it's a festival where Johnny fucking Greenwood is playing. Priceless.
Its so mesmerizing to see him play like mindlessly
So cool man
Jonny's work as Wyatt on Ozark is also pretty fantastic.
lmao
Johnny Greenwood and Robert Fripp collaboration. Jus' sayin.'
+Jerk Sanford..... seriously, oh my god... I'm dying for this
Pure sex juice.
+Jerk Sanford I do not think they will not be quite complementary ;-)
Pablo Rodríguez Haha! I see what you did there. (Love KC btw)
That'd be perfection
Holy shit how did I miss this. He’s so amazing.
I'm in love with him since ... the 90's.
I really like this kind of sound of an guitar. It's so beautiful
it's not fair he still has awesome hair.
And that he doesn't age.
how it should always feel, rendering music in my soul, this very moment. jonny is inspiration.
One of the most adaptive musician ever. He brings out the uniqueness and brilliance in every instrument he touches. A true avant-garde artist.
Jonny is werkelijk waar een van de prachtigste mensen die ooit op deze aarde rond hebben gelopen. Bravo!
That stare into nothingness tho
+Yamil Ortiz I think it's something....but, he's the only one who can see it.
... awkward..
he can see dead people
he is entering the void.
He's having a flashback

I would kill to this performed live!!!!
Wow! The level on which he is communicating here I dont think I've ever seen before.
Thank you Fred!
I’m liking this staring contest right now.
A genius piece to choose, with exquisite timing and skill in orchestration, I might add.
9:58...yum. It’s like 2treats in 1😛 Talent AND beauty...
I could seriously watch him jam for dayz.
Jonnny Greenwood e um músico excepcional!!!!!!Sempre surpreende!
Pure madness!!!!! Thanks Jonny!!
I was met with my favorite video of the year, I thought it would disappear❤❤
the stabilization makes for a pretty trippy video
It does indeed
@@freddegraaf8364 Frederick, do you indulge in psilocybin
jonny without a tele? a rare sight indeed.
I would Love to see a frusciante / greenwood collaboration
+Jimmy Honnoll I'd love to see Adam Jones in that mix as well.
YES! two of the best guitarists in alternative rock
Just PERFECT
two of the best composers in music period all genres and styles
Can't be done. The awesomeness would reach critical mass and then BOOM.
9:54 *dies*
Demi Krueger 😂
For sure 🔥💗
♥️♥️
He's so goddamn beautiful
IKK
Johnny reminds me of a male version of Hank's wife from breaking bad. Compliment, not a diss!

+MrJmawiseman "I like it when Jonny plays Rock"
"Jesus Christ Marie they're MINERALS"
+PetroleumPelle very true. Haha.
+PetroleumPelle you clever beast, you.
PetroleumPelle brilliant
it’s not fair his hair is still so sick
Una delicia poder disfrutar de la magia de Jonny.
so Jonny IS the London Contemporary Orchestra?
Yes. There is no need for an etire orchestra when you have Jonny fucking Greenwood
+Stitch Grimly I guess it's a joke and you actually hear the other musicians...
This man Isolde a fine wine- only getting better with age.❤️
And he’s super gorgeous to just watch too😍
Really reminiscent of Robert Fripp, as others have mentioned. It's some lovely stuff.
So beautiful.
Jonny G GOOD!!!
遅まきながらジョニー・グリーンウッドと言う稀有なギタリストを知った。彼のギタープレイは最高です🎶
So beautiful! Thank you very much for what you do. Your music helps me when I'm down.
Omg I love you #jonnygreenwood
That didn't have to end!
Thank you for recording this!
Jonny is great ... i love what his trying with guitar and other instruments. !
Holy hell he is good.
I love Jonny so much🥺❤
Freak fucking genius
Oh my god dude.
There are apparently 10,000 different most underrated guitarists of all time.
My favourite RH
Te amo jonny
That guitar sounds great...
Why does his hair move in slow motion while everything else is in real-time?
Funny. It may have to do with the manupulation of the image for stabilisation, first by the cam and second by RUclips.
His hair can manipulate the very fabric of time
Qué fenómeno este pibe haciendo un cover de Steve Reich. Classic ^ ^
oh wow, one of my favourite guitar players from one of my favourite bands of all time, playing a theme from one of my favourite composers (reich) and guitarists of all time (metheny) wtf haha
Jonny is the BEST
It would be really cool to see this with a whole orchestra of different guitar players with different guitars with different guitars and amps settings so you get a huge smattering of tones and tambres
ruclips.net/video/YFVmbbpPM7o/видео.html
that was the initial idea. but now we're only going to reserve allowed performances of this piece to "legacy" artists it seems
@@ab8817 was it the initial idea tho?? we had to study this in school and from the beginning it was recorded and played back live aka looped
fantastico.
This is "electric counterpoint" by Steve Reich :)
I found a tab for this on Songster. It's called Electric Counterpoint.
The "tab" won't be of the entire piece. The video below is the score of the third movement.
ruclips.net/video/_TKVpUSWCug/видео.html
I believe he is part swan
a god. a fucking god.
Who needs an orchestra, just give Jonny loop and delay pedals
This isn't a loop, but rather a conventionally notated classical piece by Steve Reich for live player and a pre-recorded track. It is played exactly note for note as it was originally written in 1987.
It would be really cool to see Jonny play this with Pat Methany.
Dit was zo mooi!!
