Jonny Greenwood (b. 1971, Oxford) is an English musician and composer best known as the lead guitarist and keyboardist of the alternative rock band Radiohead.

He described his role in the band as an arranger, helping to transform singer Thom Yorke’s demos into full songs. He has been named one of the greatest guitarists of all time by publications including the NME, Rolling Stone and Spin.

His film credits include There Will Be Blood (2007), Norwegian Wood (2010), We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) and Inherent Vice (2014).

Greenwood is known for his spidery, often brash solos, sometimes resembling the style of minimalist composer [Steve Reich (b. 1936)], who was impressed by Greenwood’s interpretation of Electric Counterpoint
Jonny also subsequently created his own “re-write” of Radiohead songs.
