Q. Hello dear Oracle,
What do you think of this? Can we know what they think of that now?
From the first time I've seen it, I said whatever the signed thing may be... from Coldplay it would be precious.
Thank you dear Oracle, wish you all the best :)
Q. Hello Oracle, I was wondering how Jonny gets that great sound on his guitar? It sound incredible! And where can I get a book or tabs for how Jonny plays songs and riffs exactly the way he plays them? Thanks see ya!
Q. HEY!!! Coldplay's first Sydney show was spectacular and absolutely outstanding! Quick question: I noticed that for songs like Paradise, Charlie Brown, In My Place, Major Minus - that Jonny wasn't using his 2 regular 'MX graffiti' guitars, instead he was using a sunburst tele. Do you know why?
Thanks! The whole Coldplay team are amazing!
Q. Hi dear Oracle! I hope you're doing great. The other day I was watching a documentary about different dialects and languages spoken within the UK and I found Welsh absolutely impossible to understand or imitate (I speak for myself here of course) Now, I know Jonny grew up in Wales and I was wondering, can he speak Welsh fluently?

Q. Hi,Oracle.
I want to ask that which song Chris Martin sings here?
I can't know the name of this funny song.
Thanks.
Q. Dear Oracle,
I was listening to a live version of In My Place and I heard Chris say that Jonny actually wrote that song. I also remember Chris mentioning that Square One was written by Jonny jamming with Will. I was under the impression all melodies came from Chris and then were worked together by the band, but are there actually songs whose melody comes from someone other than Chris? And which other songs are Jonny's then? :)
Q. This is a bit of a long shot, but I used to teach Jonathan Buckland in his last 2 years of Primary School. He was the goal keeper in our school football team and also - not surprisingly - had a star role in our school Christmas concert! The kids used to call me Mr D. I have two sons from my first marriage - they are both Coldplay fanatics! I am now re-married and have two step-daughters who think they are brill as well. Trouble is, they don't really believe me when I say I used to teach Jonny. Is there any way he would consider sending me an email to prove I'm not spinning them a yarn? Many thanks, John
Q. As a guitarist, I was wondering if Jonny ever did an interview for a specialized guitar magazine, like other famous guitarists do? If he did, can you direct me to it? Also has he ever considered releasing his own signature guitar? :)
Q. Why did Chris Martin give a standing ovation to Maroon 5 in the Grammy's while no one stood?? Was Coldplay inspired by Maroon 5 when they were kids??
Q. Dear Oracle,
Chris, Will and Guy are all in the list of top tags, but Jonny isn't. Do you think theres a reason that he's mentioned less often than the others?
Love, a huge fan :)
Q. Hey Oracle! Can you tell me what Chris Martin said about Jonny in this video at 1:16?
Anyway I love this version of In My Place!
Greetings from Italy
Q. Dearest Oracle,
I'm a bit of a guitar/tech geek. There's a picture of Jonny's pedals on one of the blogs, and it looks like he is using three volume pedals. Why does he use three instead of one?
Thank you!
Q. Dearest Oracle,
I was just watching Coldplay live performances on YouTube when I saw the video of The Scientist live in 29 April 2006. There Chris says "Ladies and Gentlemen Mr Jonathan Buckland age 28 years old my best friend and the best guitar player I ever knew..."
Then what does he say?
Greetings from Dhaka.
Q. Dear Oracle,
As a guitarist, I'd love to know what kind of microphone Jonny is using to mic his amp.
Thanks!
Q. Dear Oracle,
why is Jonny called "Jonny Buckley" in Guitar Hero 5?
Thanks,
Flo
Q. Was Chris Jonny's best man and if so did he do a funny speech?
Q. I noticed that Jonny didn't make it into the helicopter at the end of the LiTii video - does he have a phobia about flying?
Q. Dear Oracle,
In Roadie 42's latest blog, he said that before X&Y, only Will did backup vocals, but in the Live 2003 DVD I thought I saw Jonny on backup as well. Am I remembering things incorrectly?
Q. Please could you, Mr. Oracle, answer my question!!?
The supporting act at the o2 on the 15th december, (The Domino State) has a guitarist called Tim Buckland. Is there any relation between Jonny and Tim??
Thankyou Mr. Oracle
