J
Jonathan "Jonny" Richard Guy Greenwood (born
November 5, 1971) is a member of Radiohead. He is
also the brother of fellow band member Colin
Greenwood.  

Jonny's extremely aggressive guitar playing has
led him in the past to repetitive strain injury in
his right arm. Advised by a doctor to wear an arm
brace for a period of time, his brace has become a
trademark of sorts. "I enjoy putting it on before
I play ... It's like taping up your fingers before
a boxing match." He is also an outspoken champion
of the Ondes Martenot, an early synthesizer, which
he lists as one of his favorite instruments. He
has composed a piece entitled Smear for a pair of
Ondes Martenot. The Ondes can be heard on many
Radiohead tracks, notably The National Anthem from
Kid A. He also utilizes modular synthesizers and
devices such as the Korg Kaoss Pad on newer
tracks.

Jonny is married to wife Sharona and has a son
named Tamir (to whom Hail to the Thief was
dedicated).
