- One of rock and roll's most under the radar guitarists. Jonny Buckland the guitarist from Coldplay has been influencing guitarists for the last decade more than you might think. Baxter and Jonathan break down why Jonny Is so cool.... and a great guitar player.
Jonny Buckland is a shy, brilliant artist. If you haven’t listened to their latest album Everyday Life, do it now. It’s a masterpiece.
Cheers and agreed 100%!
Thanks for sharing:)
@Henry Bushell probably not his style of music then
True 100%
As a Christian, I like Coldplay and am checking out more of their music and love it. I will say tho, I will check out more of Everyday Life but I don't like the liberal themes and bad words in some songs😕
@@johnd46 well that album does have a lot of Christian themed songs like broken, when I need a friend, and eko
Underrated guitarist... giving the music space and listening to what the song really needs is what he does best. A lot of people will laugh at Coldplay, but they're truly one of the best around.
He's why I always come back.
Finally someone is talking about my favorite guitar player!!!! Love his composition to a song
Thanks a bunch and we love creative players like this!
@@kiki.k9748 wow! Amazing 🤩
His guitar solo from strawberry swings is magical!
Have you ever listened to "Moses" or "One I love"? 2 of my absolute favorite Coldplay songs and some of my favorite work from Jonny Buckland as a fellow guitarist.
Nice to see some recognition for Jonny. Just as you mentioned, he doesn't play traditional guitar solos but supports songs by playing what he thinks they need. Whether that be a more complex riff or just a few simple notes. That being said his solo on Hurts Like Heaven is probably my favorite. Great video guys!
He doesn't play guitar solos?
@@strikerbowls791 he does but I meant in the "traditional" rock sense.
@@Coldplaykb Violet Hill...
@@strikerbowls791 while a guitar solo I would also argue it's more of a riff. I'm referring to those classic rock songs that have extended crazy solos. Coldplay is not a typical "rock" band so they are not needed. I much prefer Jonny's riffs to them anyway.

I saw Coldplay live in 2016 when they went on their A Head Full of Dreams tour. Chris Martin's charisma and the band's positive energy made the money my family spent worth it. It was one of the best days of my life.
I like that you guys have the testicular fortitude to discuss a guy like this and appreciate him publicly. Keep up the good work.
That made me smile:) thanks a bunch!!!
They’re making some good money talking about a guy.
My favorite guitar player. Very minimalist and emotional
Damn X&Y is my favorite Coldplay album, it probably features the most guitar centric work and some phenomenal sounds! Would definitely recommend you re-listen!
Definitely agree with you, Matt
Deal...I’ll give her a relisten soon!!!
You're definitely right!
I feel like I love so many songs on X&Y but it's not really a great album to just sit down and listen to. Some of the songs are really long and when I get to the end of the album I'm exhausted from listening. My favorite album pf theirs is A Rush of Blood to the Head because there isn't a song that's too long.
The first three albums are absolute masterpieces. I love their new music too but the early stuff just can't be topped
Jonny Buckland is a great artist and makes the guitar “speak” naturally with AMAZING riffs. To me, he is THE BEST and MY FAVORITE. I had just the opportunity to see him very close playing, and I could notice how he enjoys doing it. Thanks for the recognition, let’s keep recognizing him as HE DESERVES TO SEE in life that we love his art.
Jonny Buckland is a god among men. Is that hyperbole? Maybe but there are so many people who instantly dismiss Coldplay, I think it's fair to go extreme in the opposite direction :P Thank you for giving Jonny some much deserved appreciation
Jonny Buckland is my idol. He is the reason I pick up a guitar, learned and do his cover.
🤢damn ....make steve vai your idol you'll do better or even john frusciante
@@amanbhakta4524 you weird
Thanks for making a video about one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Jonny is so often overlooked and many people have a stereotypical view of Coldplay that they don't deserve. And absolutely listen to X&Y please - it has amazing electrical guitars! Songs like Talk, White Shadows, Square One, A Message... ❤
Right on and thanks for the good cheer as well!
the title track itself has some killer guitar!
@@inawoodenhouse Jonny has four parts going, all doing their own thing, yet driving the song to the finish in the outro too!
I met JB outside his Manchester Apollo gig in around 2000, he arrived at the gig in a taxi simple as that. A shy guy who signed autographs and was absolutely lovely. I once read an interview with him where he said he feels like he ‘struggles’ with the guitar rather than ‘own’ it like some guitarists but wow what a creative genius his riffs are amazing
Buckland is a pretty unique and underated guitar player. He was the reason to own a Jaguar for, I think 20 years or so. I was kinda surprised when he was using the E-Bow for the Track Spies or doing things with the Volume Pedal like on Square One from X & Y and I adore his simple use of Delay and Slide stuff🙂
See Rush Of Blood to the head (song) live 2008. It is really Pink Floyd and it’s sooo good
Yess thank you for giving Jonny Buckland the praise and recognition he deserves 🙌 an absolute legend!
I totally understand that a lot of people don't like Coldplay (and why) and while I'm not the biggest fan of a lot of their music, I honestly think all of them are underrated as musicians. They all have a lot of subtle, understated stuff going on in a lot of their songs.
Been to my fair share of shows, favorite band is Pearl Jam and have seen them multiple times. My son turned me on to Coldplay and we took him to a couple shows. Must say, their shows are amazing, they are amazing musicians and showman and Buckland is a hugely underrated guitarist. He plays what's necessary, but he's not the focal point of anything.
My favorite guitar playere are The Edge and to me the best modern guitar players are:
• Matt Bellamy - Muse
• Jon Buckland - Coldplay
• James Valentine - Maroon 5
• Wayne Sermon - Imagine Dragons
The have so much influence of The Edge, and the 4 plays only what the song need's, that's why i love these guys.
100%
I think Bellamy plays a bit more than needed but he’s definitely adopted Edges influence
Thank you guys for covering Jon. He's an underrated guitar played which often gets obscured by Chris and his "super famous philanthropic" attitude. I love him. Great video!
Jonny and Chris consider the riff on The Scientist as their favorite guitar part. I think that’s funny because it’s a super introverted riff yet so beautiful. You have to listen twice to even notice it
Awesome point and sincere thanks for sharing that one! Cheers and horray to that:)
That song is frustratingly good!
You guys are so eloquent and it's great to see musicians with such a positive outlook - especially when you're talking about Coldplay! :)
X&Y is my favorite album hands down. My wife got me into them and they’re great, the funny thing about it is that I usually listen to pop jazz gospel heavy rock metal Latin background.
Very underrated guitarist always said he was up there with the best
Nice! I’ve always thought so. Those first two records are amazing and the guitar work is stellar.
10:49 this is the most coldplay picture i have ever seen
Great video as always. Looking forward to the Radiohead video. I hope you talk about the Starcaster that Greenwood plays.
This is very interesting commentary on a guitarist and band I really never got into.....and I need to check it out. It is awesome that they split everything four ways. They are a true band as it should be. Btw, is that a pink tele with a rosewood board in the background? Can you give me some more info on that guitar? Wow!!!!!
Very underrated guitarist. Different strokes for different folks but there’s something about his style of supporting the song instead of his own position as a guitarist
Ya'll are celebrating Johnny for being this really scientific and ethereal guitar player, but I have a feeling you would probably dump all over Edge from U2. Johnny's clearly highly influenced by Edge both from a gear perspective and stylistically. The big difference is that Johnny doesn't use the dotted 8th as dominantly.
Id love a radiohead video from you guys! I dont see one posted, but all 3 players in that band who play guitar are really great (jonny, ed, thom) and they take up different spaces for the songs. Then collin is an absolute beast of a bassist and plays so well with phil, whos one of my favorite drummers. Really is a band where all the members are top of the line musicians. They also tend to write/craft the songs together and share songwriting credits. Bands that do that seem to stick it out for the long haul with all the original members still together, even after decades.
Jonny is my favourite I love coldplay but he was born in london alot if people think hes welsh but they moved at a young age to Wales hes actually from London x
I would put Johnny Buckland with James Valentine from Maroon 5. Both guys play the parts needed for the song and nothing more. Valentine said it best at a NAMM show a few years ago “Serve the song”.
Great video as always guys!
Every guitarist plays their part for the song...
@@strikerbowls791 Touché
Great player, jack white and johnny buckland own the 2000s for me.
The sad reality is that people love to shit on Coldplay like on Nickelback because it's a "cool" thing to hate them. I love their work. The first 3 album was brilliant, and had such an intimate feeling. To me it's lost since Viva La Vida, but they are great nonetheless.
Really enjoying your videos, guys! I would totally dig a video on Elliott Smith too 😄❤️
Cheers and love from India!
“Sorry The Edge!”
love this!
Every Coldplay song has prominent guitar in it...
He’s just so melodic
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure on the last few tours, a lot of his live Fender style guitars are Bill Nash copies.
Great player
he plays Nash guitars for several years now
He's the Best
uhhh, Baxter, those are apes, brother!
Can anyone please tell me which is the live video @4:10
A rush of blood to the head 2002 tour
i love X&Y. Its my favourite Coldplay album. That's saying something because I think Parachutes and Rush Of Blood are AMAZING. I don't really like anything after X&Y. For the life of me I cannot get into Viva La Vida. I've tried. Just doesn't do it for me.
He doesn’t even play a fender?
I just recovered from the Slash-accident. Now Coldplay... stop taking those pills! Pleeeease! ;)
😂 We'll get back to real guitar players soon, we promise.
Did you really just say that X &Y was the worst record????
"real CGI"?
their collaborative equality is a lesson for even existing bands. the black crowes (ie the robinson brothers) should 100% take notes. were it not for rich & chris's egos that band would be one of the greatest bands of all time, but by treating their essential band members (read steve gorman) as hired hands they've totally ruined the band.
Great discussion again guys. Anytime anyone mentions Coldplay, I feel the need to share ua-cam.com/video/LmUHFgNFRG0/v-deo.html because I think it is awesome.
Video idea, totally off topic of this discussion, but I would love to hear your discussion, if it interests you, on the starting of and comparison of punk rock hitting the world, and explore the ideas of what came out of the west coast, east coast, and England.
After 2nd record they bowed to the pop masses/fame/ money and altered how they structured songs w guitar parts that typically might as well just be midi or plug-ins. First two records guitar was an integral part of their music not an afterthought and this took away what had made them unique....
4:44 Real CGI monkeys? CGI isn't real LOL
First I've herd of him. Jonny who?
Gabrieltone Guitars Jonny Buckland.
@@siamulislam8213 Never herd of him
@@gabrieltoneguitars9365 yeah he so underrated. the best Jonny Buckland guitar perfomance is a rush blood to the head live 2013
*2003

He is?
🤣
Bro he really is
Yes
Coldplay had the big hit ‘Yellow’, and then they did...
Err, he isn’t?
You guys are great, so what is today's topic about? Jonny Buckl-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
cold who?
Doh....:)
A for effort.
Props on the humor there:) thanks for watching and sharing again!
@@CasinoGuitars lol! Live just up the road in the triangle and need to make it to your shop one day. I enjoy the videos.
@@eddiestephens5213 that’s awesome! Come on down and say hello!
The first 2 albums are amazing then they got unlistenable. Such a bummer. Clocks was the beginning of the end
You're just wrong...
Talk about utterly closed minded....
unknown and cool?
Huh?
Hello Johnny Buckland
Rude
Bored
I don’t know
Respect is Earned
Who do You Think You Are?
What a Disappointment

You lost me at Coldplay. Yaaaaawwwnnnn.
Coldplay have made some inspired art pop, space rock, and other dreamy styles of music with exemplary taste at times. Their guitar work is often characterized by gorgeous chords, tasteful changes, and beautiful textures. I think it's unbelievably lazy to dismiss their work and talent out of hand- this is coming from someone who doesn't typically listen to them. Just because they come from a scene and style you don't respect doesn't mean they lack merit.
@@aaronmoffat3203 I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I've listened to them, because of a love interest, but, they're about as interesting as a piece of Wonder Bread. That doesn't discount your enjoyment, by all means... enjoy.
Coldplay are the most interesting and groundbreaking band of our generation
@@strikerbowls791 OK. Were you born in the 2000s?
@@SD_Marc Perhaps
Thanks, but no thanks
