Jonny Greenwood
Radiohead's lead guitarist and a film composer of extraordinary range. Greenwood's guitar work spans delicate arpeggios, abrasive noise, and orchestral textures. His aggressive strumming on Creep's chorus, using a Telecaster into a Fender amp, became one of the most recognizable moments in 1990s rock.
