eBow
It appears that he uses an eBow, especially on "See You Soon." Should this be added to equipment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tmcw (talk • contribs) 01:57, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

comparisons
"His stylistic [..] sound has led to many comparisons with the playing of U2's The Edge." What... who...? Jonny is an absolutely different guitarist with different style, manners and approach plus it doesn't even sound close to Edge. Who has said that it sounds like The Edge? Must be one of the magazines trying to compare and throw things in one big mess, like they usually do, if so, citation needed; but in that case- it still doesn't mean anything, I don't think wikipedia should support magazine rants. Jonny's playing speaks for itself. Please consider deleting this weird comparison. It seems to be thrown in place where it shouldn't be, this is an encyclopedia after all.

Spurred on by the Stone Roses
Does this mean inspired by the Stone Roses, or did the Stone Roses actually encourage him? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.153.210 (talk) 02:14, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Jonny's guitars
Jonny mostly used the Fender Stratocaster during the Mylo Xyloto era and touring cycle. You can see him using the Stratocaster as his main guitar for live performances between 2011-2012. Every album after Mylo Xyloto, he split between playing the Telecaster and Stratocaster fairly evenly, if you watch Coldplay's performances on YouTube

Source: numerous YouTube videos of professional and fan-made video of live performances can be found easily, proving this .There are also several trusted internet pages dedicated to documenting musician's gears that show the guitars that Jonny uses. Tvil999 (talk) 13:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Guitar style
The present version of the article says "Buckland's guitar style is mainly based on U2's The Edge's guitar sound, which consists mainly of ringing, conservative notation, various amps and distorters, and musical rawness." First, I've played guitar for some 40 years, but I have no idea what a "ringing, conservative notation" is. Second, is it Buckland's style which is based on the devices listed, or is it The Edge's? The way it is stated now, it appears to me to be the latter. Furthermore, no sources explicitly state that Buckland himself consciously based his sound on The Edge. The Edge's statement merely says that he hears himself in Buckland.

A Wikipedia entry for the guitarist in one of the world's biggest rock bands surely could do better? KaldeFakta68 (talk) 19:37, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

I just changed "mainly based on" to "notably similar to", which I think should be good enough for now, as it leaves it ambiguous as to whether or not Jonny intentionally bases his sound on The Edge's. Also, I believe that a "ringing, conservative notation" refers to a sparse style of playing where notes are allowed to ring out, as opposed to a playing style that involves a lot of crazy and fast notes. 2601:58D:301:C060:592D:F5C6:8090:62E4 (talk) 19:03, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Lead additions
This stuff about his character and musical style is not necessarty in the lead. Nor is detail about his primary school music lessons. This info is not being deletred from the article, but it's unecessary and iappropriate for the summary.Unbh (talk) 04:46, 1 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty good with the lead as it stands right now. Can we declare consensus and move on? Let's just leave the article alone, we already got warnings over it.
