Self taught at 3, can't read music and learns how to play by listening...yes all you haters are right?? Quinn has a gift and could match licks with Buddy Guy at 7 years old...Kid is crazy good and I dig his vibe!
Those that can, DO. Those that can't, post comments on You Tube, criticize or compare the artist to others instead of celebrating each artist in their own right. For all those criticizing Quinn, may I point out that 4 days after this gig in New Jersey, he was playing with the great Buddy Guy at the Hollywood Bowl. --------->
Never judge the emotional feeling or musical expression Quinn projects. When BUDDY GUY says this kid has it all I take that AS GOSPEL. I am from Chicago and I am 63 I have seen Hendrix and all the blues greats who have played or come from Chicago..And I play guitar this kid is far in his talent..They said the same thing about Joe Bonamasssa .and his dream was to play the Royal Albert Hall in 20 years and he made it happen.. So Wisdom is needed here then judgement only he knows the way he feels can anyone here say that? Have You all figured out all the riddles of life and have the answer?. Do you think You can judge brilliance can you play what he does here?
Mike O'Brien From experience producing concerts and managing touring Rocking Blues groups, playing with friends from BB to Papa John Creach, Muddy Waters and other lesser lights who are (or were) just as good doing our shows as the Dave Perkins Band, I find a lot of people writing posts through this pages that don't know what the heck they're talking about. Being a critic is easy. Being someone who really has something worth saying and reading is a much harder hill to climb.This kid was (and still is) a young teenager. How many of the people writing crap on here could even tune his guitar? I have a feeling they're mostly silly wannabes.
His guitar playing is impeccable... his life experience will grow with time... and someday we will hear Quinn "Play the Blues." because life has a way about it of maturing even the greenest and freshest of us... but in the meantime... let him be a young extremely talented guitar player learning about his life... you can't really expect him to sing about 60 years of hard living when he is still a teenager... But I believe that if given a chance... He Will..
Exactly what I was thinking. Once he gains experience and loses innocence, his playing will evolve. I was one of those teenage Blues players and look back and see what my playing used to be, and what a difference that life-experience has made.
Phenomenal player. He will continue to grow through music. I am curious if anyone knows what model of Fender is he playing. It almost sounds like a Gibson...
Playing the blues takes a certain "feel" You don't have to have a suffering life to play the blues. It is music...if you have the feel for it and (this kid definitely has it) you can play it well. Just imagine when this kid gets more experience learning from some of the blues legends he is playing with(Buudy Guy , BB King) - He will keep this great music alive for years to come.
Wrong. BB king not easy to play. This kid has no soul. I'm sorry your wrong? This band and kid wreck this song. White guys don't have it? Jimi Hendrix was gift it. Jimi Hendrix told BB king I listen to you a lot. That's why Hendrix is good. You learn how to play the blues to have soul in it by turning the amp down? Its not easy? Because it has a lot of soul in it? By turn it down? It help you learn to play it better when you turn the amp up. Its the drive on the amp? You turning it down or up. I know this ? I'm guitarist my self. A lot great guitarist today can't play the Blues when the drive is down? They suck at it and trying to be fast at it and not done right to be fast at it. They been using drive amp up all the time. If u have a ear hear you can hear how bad this is in Rock music or so call White guys blues rock greats? How much they suck and can't play guitar right? Soul some times it's a gift to play the guitar. It's makes the guitar playing sound better. That's why Handrix is Number 1# in rock and hard rock and blues rock and Jimi slams over being Number #1 over dumb ass Heavy Metal Guitarist? Heavy Metal Music is Stupid rock? In blues Jimi hendrix is in the top ten. Man you got to have soul in your guitar playing? It's a gifted? I like King Fish he has soul in his guitar playing. He is young guy to? Google it or UA-cam it? King Fish?
You make all of us 60 plus year olds very happy! To see the younger generation playing the blues and actually have talent is a God send. I’ve seen your YT videos with Buddy Guy and I’m so looking forward to see what you do in future. You’ve come along way, but like Albert King said to Stevie Ray when they first played together, “son, your good but your gonna be even better”! Best wishes young man. PS. Best cover of Thrill is Gone I’ve ever heard! Love it!!
This kid truly has an amazing talent and especially for only being 14 years old!!! I don't think he should be compared to Srv, Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton because these guys are guitar gods and they have all taken their playing styles to the absolute highest standards possible. I love seeing the the passion coming out of Quinn's playing, I hope he never stops and always keeps going, it will be interesting to see what the future will bring.
Destined for legendary status. Fairly standard introduction for first 2 minutes. Then watch out! Impeccable choices and phrasing, incredible facility , very fluid. Definitely has the elusive “feel” down to his soul.
If you didn't know, Quinn is already a legend. As Buddy Guy and B.B. King's apprentice, he has learned more than most of us guitar players will in our lifetimes! I've played almost 40 years and I'll never play as good as he does now. When Quinn plays this in 10 years, it will be so great you will post that you knew it all the time!
Oops! I forgot to thank Quinn for his excellent performance. THANK YOU! Someone once said - "There are always two. A master and an apprentice. No more, no less!"
You're an idiot JediDale! Is your comment just to make Quinn feel better when he sees it? You don't LEARN the blues by talking to people, you learn it by living it. Maybe in 20-40 years Quinn might be great.....
B Chand Agreed. I was a teenage Blues player back in the late 80s (been playing guitar for 31 years)--I thought I was hot-shit. Now, nearing 40-years-old, I realize I still don't know the bullshit and strife that some of these Blues men have had shape their playing and who they are.
Way to go QUINN, but the music is great, thrill and all. Keep up the good work. Now got to get over to the big "A" and get some new blues, good for the soul, ya know.
What a monster. Amazing talent. Can't wait until he puts his band together, hopefully of other young cats/uber musicians and starts making his own music. I'm not suggesting that he'll "graduate" from the blues, but as he ages it will remarkable to see him carve some space that's all his own.
Thrill ain't gone.... its just starting! This guy is already a monster - very mature playing. I love the trading fours bit with the keyboardist. I like the little Strange Brew reference he throws in around 8:40. You ain't heard nothin like the mighty Quinn!!
I saw him two nights ago at the Vancouver Island Musicfest and his voice has changed and he sounds more mature than this video. He plays awesome. He played a set before Buddy Guy and joined Buddy for the last part of his set. Simply magical!
Freaking amazing. Dude Im from Texas. This is the biggest compliment I can give a guitarist. You are every bit as good as Stevie Ray Vaughn! Oh and I just downloaded the entire album. Every song is incredible!
He couldn't play like that ... I wouldn't feel it ... if he didn't feel it. Maybe he doesn't have the voice or the life experience to sing it yet ... but something happens when he plays that guitar.
Norma Gilpin blues isn't just about a persons life experiences or voice blues is an art its about the music and how it makes a person feel when they play it and how it makes others listening to it feel
Jacob Johnson Agreed! It's just that some ppl seem to think that if you haven't personally suffered/gone thru a lifetime of hardship, you can't sing/play the blues.
Norma Gilpin Thats my problem too..the blues is music of suffering, pain, lost.....can you feel that when you are 14? Just notes...thats all? No he is telling the story of his first love at ....10.Age doesnt matter when Quinn is playing. In about 5 years he is gonna blow everyone away Clapton, Hendrix ,Page, Beck, Guy, Zappa.........
+Norma Gilpin If he gets much better he will be as good or better than SVR... although, he needs a much better band behind him. the bass guitarist is "ok" the drummer sucks...
The young man has enormous talent....For all you naysayers..please keep you pontificating comments in your own warped mind....or let's see your video....crickets!!!..thought so.
Just remember, when your trying to crap on his performance, he is only 14. Also has played with the late BB King. Along with some of the best guitarist around.
At his age, this is an awesome performance! As he got older he has developed his own style, while still emulating Clapton, no easy task! He has a great future.
And with all the comments just watched him playing with all the great guitar players including Eric Clapton Gary Clarke jnr at Maddison Square Gardens 2013 he is very good
Wow! Unbelievable! This kids can not only play great, he also is making the song his own by taking what was there and adding his own style, which will develop fully overtime. Kid, you have a great gift and can gain fame and fortune if you want it and keeping working hard. Please don't allow drugs or alcohol steal this gift away from you and end your career short as it has done for so manny. Stay humble, be smart, and play every gig like it's your last, and you can have a wonderful life doing what you love to do and make huge impact in music.
Tricky311 I was thinking and hoping the same thing as I listened. Oddly enough, one of the Classic Rock Stations played "Shooting Star" just a little earlier. I hope Quinn focuses on the Truth and allows it to continue to flow thru his music and his life.
And to everyone being negative, piss off. Like this kid is actually playing music and has the feel for want he's playing, at least he's not rapping about fast cars, sex, drugs, money, and more sex. This is called talent and that is called music.
Oh..... my........... GOD! The look on the bass player's face says this: "How did I get to be the bass player for the guy who is emerging as the greatest blues guitar player who ever lived?" The kid is fourteen here, for goodness' sake.
The kid has great phrasing even if he is playing a little ahead. All the wannabe players are so nit picky. His voice is fine and the drummer is fine on his solo. Jeez just enjoy it. There is a lot worse on UA-cam.
Where he does play ahead, it's on purpose. Quinn is nothing less than OUTSTANDING both, for his age and currently. Quinn's skill, feeling, and soul exceed his age. He hasn't been alive long enough to reach this level even if he practiced every day since he born. I've been playing for three decades.
I am so impressed with this kid. To me, as a spiritualist, I have no doubt he is the reincarnation of Stevie Ray. I mean, watch his mannerisms, his style, his self confidence, his facial expressions. It’s all there. The only thing that pisses me off are these abusive UA-cam commercials that ruin a great playlist like this one. I wish something else comes along to catch up all YT users that are fed up with this crap. Thanks for the upload! I love it 😍.
the most notable difference in his display is the voice. His singing has improved, both in connection with tone balance and technical abilities. it's stabilized pretty well and with practice he can only get better. His phrasing is better too, i think he's feeling the music more rather than just playing.
Drum solos become boring after about 15 seconds. I know drummers want to show their chops, but they could come off looking so much more professional if they kept their solos short. IMHO
I am a fan of drumming and grew up in the era of drum solos...some stupid-long...not many remain interesting and soon you hear the drummer doing moves just for other drummers to hear...that being said, I caught some of Benny Greb's videos on here, and he usually plays to music....it spoiled me, I don't want to hear a drummer by themselves any more..
Must be a guitar player.Give the drummer some we back your ass up on every song that most likely has a guitar lead in it, so once a night the drummer gets some. It's not all about the guitar Bands are called groups for a reason and the real great guitar players appreciate what his band does for him. Martin says he grew up but I don't think so
Mark Blethen The drummers I've known and produced live have been some of the best in business. They'll throw little flourishes in while they're building the pocket and carrying the foundation with their bass players. They've had me cracking up and shouting at their art when the people listing for lyrics they've heard before have it lilt, blast or float past them without knowing what they've heard. It's hard to call drum solos that stretch out much more than MAYBE 15 seconds much more than a "LOOK AT ME!" pat on their own backs. For people who know what a kit can do with a good pilot, a one and a half second flourish is more outstanding than a Buddy Rich spotlight.
He is definitely a talent, but no one can ever replace Stevie Ray, never, ever...... Even if this kid has "more" talent than maybe stevie did, but you can't compare what so ever.
The only problem with Quinn is his inability to play to the crowd like He does when He was playing to the Keyboardist, once He can draw on the Audience like he did the Keyboard Player, then He will be unstopable. and that will come with age.
"Clapton is God " I was a kid saw that in a newspaper .,All the players comparisons ,he will be this and Clapton started this style of playing ,I wonder how Freddie King would of thought about that comment.Kinda weird stuff comparisons s its apples and bowlin balls . I remember being a giging house band in the same club connected to another club where Danny Gatton , Roy Buchanon would play jam there all the time and ppl would yell at those guys your the best theyd just laugh. Enjoy the kid hes not anyone but himself and hes talented, Good guitar plyers dime a dozen lets see how this kid does I think he will do just fine .
I'm glad to hear that guitar players hear Clapton in this kids style. I really like this kid, look at him, he dresses like a kid, isn't flashy. He seems focused on the music and plays homage to all the great licks and guitar players. Let's not forget the great Buddy Guy, his influence and philosophy are just adding to this kid. He appears to have great respect for the other musicians on stage. He looked so funny that first time he appeared on stage with Buddy Guy but in that moment I saw what a giant Buddy Guy is. Buddy Guy is a very generous man and he recognized something great in this kid, I'll take his endorsement...this kid is something else!
Quinn is just an amazing player already. Even if he stagnates, (which I doubt he will) he'll still be a great player. He still has to mature in age, as a musician and as a human being. It will be interesting to hear him in collaboration with Tal in about 5-6 years time, wouldn't it? In my opinion, no one is or will be the best (that's a label we put on them). When it comes to players of that calibre, their horizons are that much wider than ours. The more you know, the more you realize what there is out there!
It's too bad that Quinn never got the chance to play this song and do some "cutting heads"with B.B. It would have been the classic meeting of the decade.
No drink no drug, just passion !
Quinn is a remarkable person and an excellent musician, he is loaded with that passion which is required to play at that level..you rock kid.
Young talent, continuing to GROW! Love it!
Self taught at 3, can't read music and learns how to play by listening...yes all you haters are right?? Quinn has a gift and could match licks with Buddy Guy at 7 years old...Kid is crazy good and I dig his vibe!
Think he played with BB King as well.....
I aleays come back to this version. Great
Every time I watch this video I get chills at around 9:07 and on, dude is killing the guitar, Just uber talented.
The drummers incredible!!
Check out Homemade Jamz...Awesome Drummer
Agree, needs some attention
He was great at eight years old and thankfully just keeps getting better. Putting more style into it now at the age of 14? Just plain amazing.
Those that can, DO.
Those that can't, post comments on You Tube, criticize or compare the artist to others instead of celebrating each artist in their own right.
For all those criticizing Quinn, may I point out that 4 days after this gig in New Jersey, he was playing with the great Buddy Guy at the Hollywood Bowl. --------->
Awesome job. Doesn't get any better than this!
don't forget his age,he is one off the few .I play the guitar a long time but this guy it's something else believe me
I love Quinn sulivan and all the blues
Love this, echoes of the late, great JJ Cale in some of his licks and phrasing. Hats off to the guy.
This kid is the real deal.
his is fantastic mis respetos para ese muchacho es lo major que yo e oido en esa edad es un maestro
Never judge the emotional feeling or musical expression Quinn projects. When BUDDY GUY says this kid has it all I take that AS GOSPEL.

heard him and said he MUST Play Fredericton Harvest Jazz and Blues.
See a lot of SRV and of course Hendrix influence.......
if i had half this kids talent i would be happy
jjgtey
Phenomenal player. He will continue to grow through music. I am curious if anyone knows what model of Fender is he playing. It almost sounds like a Gibson...

I saw him play this summer and he blew me away, what a future he has ahead of him...
Awesome, but after his first heartbreak he will knock it out of the park . . . just needs a little life on him.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Thank you Quinn for keeping the blues alive. I say Turn off the news and turn on the blues!!!

I don't think he should be compared to Srv, Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton because these guys are guitar gods and they have all taken their playing styles to the absolute highest standards possible. I love seeing the the passion coming out of Quinn's playing, I hope he never stops and always keeps going, it will be interesting to see what the future will bring.
Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a TALENT
Destined for legendary status. Fairly standard introduction for first 2 minutes. Then watch out! Impeccable choices and phrasing, incredible facility , very fluid. Definitely has the elusive “feel” down to his soul.
If you didn't know, Quinn is already a legend. As Buddy Guy and B.B. King's apprentice, he has learned more than most of us guitar players will in our lifetimes! I've played almost 40 years and I'll never play as good as he does now. When Quinn plays this in 10 years, it will be so great you will post that you knew it all the time!
Oops! I forgot to thank Quinn for his excellent performance. THANK YOU!
Someone once said - "There are always two. A master and an apprentice.
No more, no less!"
You're an idiot JediDale! Is your comment just to make Quinn feel better when he sees it? You don't LEARN the blues by talking to people, you learn it by living it. Maybe in 20-40 years Quinn might be great.....
B Chand Agreed. I was a teenage Blues player back in the late 80s (been playing guitar for 31 years)--I thought I was hot-shit. Now, nearing 40-years-old, I realize I still don't know the bullshit and strife that some of these Blues men have had shape their playing and who they are.
A gifted genius
i saw Quinn in concert with buddy guy a couple years ago. Ive been a fan ever since.
He got a very good mentor in Mr Buddy Guy...love him forever!!! Along with Eric Clapton OMG!!!
Way to go QUINN, but the music is great, thrill and all. Keep up the good work. Now got to get over to the big "A" and get some new blues, good for the soul, ya know.
Great version of this song, I can dig it!
What a monster. Amazing talent. Can't wait until he puts his band together, hopefully of other young cats/uber musicians and starts making his own music. I'm not suggesting that he'll "graduate" from the blues, but as he ages it will remarkable to see him carve some space that's all his own.
This kid is definitely an old soul! What a God-given gift!! Was blown away
I wish this kid the best.
Thrill ain't gone.... its just starting! This guy is already a monster - very mature playing. I love the trading fours bit with the keyboardist. I like the little Strange Brew reference he throws in around 8:40.
You ain't heard nothin like the mighty Quinn!!
"The torch has been passed to a new generation"; this young man is the BB KING of the 21st century.IMHO
Will be buying his album when it's out next June. Wow.
ah yes, Quinn Sullivan, i got the honor of seeing him live, his technique is practically perfect!
I'm out of superlatives ! They all apply to this young man !!
I saw him two nights ago at the Vancouver Island Musicfest and his voice has changed and he sounds more mature than this video. He plays awesome. He played a set before Buddy Guy and joined Buddy for the last part of his set. Simply magical!
this teen is amazing.
Superb!
Maldita sea!!! 20 años tocando y otros 20 mas...jamas llegare a eso!!! pedazo de artistazo el muchacho
this is MUSIC . justin bieber come and learn
a wonderful Young Talent -
just so awesome, he once plated @ the fox studio in DEDHAM, MASS
Freaking amazing. Dude Im from Texas. This is the biggest compliment I can give a guitarist. You are every bit as good as Stevie Ray Vaughn! Oh and I just downloaded the entire album. Every song is incredible!
The fact that anyone would insult this kid...
great job kid
con estas rolitas asta mañana
that kid can cook...you can tell he's been in the kitchen with some major master chefs
He couldn't play like that ... I wouldn't feel it ... if he didn't feel it. Maybe he doesn't have the voice or the life experience to sing it yet ... but something happens when he plays that guitar.

darkman Illinois Your comment made me listen all over again ... sooo good ... didn't pay much attention to the drummer (fast forwarded thru him).
LOVE TO HEAR YOU PLAY QUINN. TALENTED IS ALL I CAN SAY
amazing playing and guitar tone *o*
Great voice man!
The young man has enormous talent....For all you naysayers..please keep you pontificating comments in your own warped mind....or let's see your video....crickets!!!..thought so.
Just remember, when your trying to crap on his performance, he is only 14. Also has played with the late BB King. Along with some of the best guitarist around.
At his age, this is an awesome performance! As he got older he has developed his own style, while still emulating Clapton, no easy task! He has a great future.
He's such a young/great talent
Awesome
i would cut both of my legs to play the guitar like he does, i will just stay at my house sitting in a chair playing blues for the rest of my life.
Toca muy bien y tan joven cuando tenga 30. Años tocara sensacional. A p l a u s o s
He Look Like A Teenage Eric Clapton lol
Agree, but better than Clapton was at that age
ça sonne juste dés les premières notes... Bravo !
And with all the comments just watched him playing with all the great guitar players including Eric Clapton Gary Clarke jnr at Maddison Square Gardens 2013 he is very good
interesting combination of influences...
He's gonna be another BB King, Buddy Guy and a Stevie Ray Vaughn rolled into one! This kid is good!
Wow! Unbelievable! This kids can not only play great, he also is making the song his own by taking what was there and adding his own style, which will develop fully overtime. Kid, you have a great gift and can gain fame and fortune if you want it and keeping working hard.

Very similar background as Joe Bonamassa. He's young and his talent will take him a long way. Good luck Quinn.
And to everyone being negative, piss off. Like this kid is actually playing music and has the feel for want he's playing, at least he's not rapping about fast cars, sex, drugs, money, and more sex. This is called talent and that is called music.
Brandon Smith *AMEN*
Oh..... my........... GOD! The look on the bass player's face says this: "How did I get to be the bass player for the guy who is emerging as the greatest blues guitar player who ever lived?" The kid is fourteen here, for goodness' sake.
, still the bass is o.k. too.

The only thing that pisses me off are these abusive UA-cam commercials that ruin a great playlist like this one. I wish something else comes along to catch up all YT users that are fed up with this crap.
Thanks for the upload! I love it 😍.
The Base player is so relaxed, Quinn doing all the work LOL!
the most notable difference in his display is the voice. His singing has improved, both in connection with tone balance and technical abilities. it's stabilized pretty well and with practice he can only get better. His phrasing is better too, i think he's feeling the music more rather than just playing.
Guitar is crying !
So beautiful 🥀
I'm japanese . Thank you !
Questo, ci scommetto, se continuerà ad affinarsi, entrerà di diritto nell'olimpo dei grandi dell'electric guitar.
i'm in with that
Quinn is uur Crown Prince of Blues. BB King, Buddy Guy, Santana and all others, can retire peacefully because there is continuation of BLUES.
SRV is back
Drum solos become boring after about 15 seconds. I know drummers want to show their chops, but they could come off looking so much more professional if they kept their solos short. IMHO

Must be a guitar player.Give the drummer some we back your ass up on every song that most likely has a guitar lead in it, so once a night the drummer gets some. It's not all about the guitar Bands are called groups for a reason and the real great guitar players appreciate what his band does for him. Martin says he grew up but I don't think so
Mark Blethen It is not "Martin", if you are addressing me.
Mark Blethen The drummers I've known and produced live have been some of the best in business. They'll throw little flourishes in while they're building the pocket and carrying the foundation with their bass players. They've had me cracking up and shouting at their art when the people listing for lyrics they've heard before have it lilt, blast or float past them without knowing what they've heard. It's hard to call drum solos that stretch out much more than MAYBE 15 seconds much more than a "LOOK AT ME!" pat on their own backs. For people who know what a kit can do with a good pilot, a one and a half second flourish is more outstanding than a Buddy Rich spotlight.
kid has got it!
I live near moorestown, in Cherry Hill!
The thrill isn't gone. It's right here listening to this musical genius playing. He's absolutely amazing.
next SRV, 100 quid on it
I AGREE, (maybe SRV has been reincarnated)
Kate Anderson
reminded me of him too !
He is definitely a talent, but no one can ever replace Stevie Ray, never, ever...... Even if this kid has "more" talent than maybe stevie did, but you can't compare what so ever.
blasphemy. he shouldn't be mentioned in the same day as stevie ray vaughan
Not trying to
He is just gifted
The only problem with Quinn is his inability to play to the crowd like He does when He was playing to the Keyboardist, once He can draw on the Audience like he did the Keyboard Player, then He will be unstopable. and that will come with age.
I don't understand.
o charisma, to robotic, probably just shyness
keyboardist is his dad
amazing young man
O máximo do BB King
the reincarnated svr holly shit this kid is great. what a great career in front of him and a lot of great music to come
The kid rocks
Haters gonna hate. enjoy the damn song!
He's not a kid anymore... I wonder if he still has the red Gibson that Ellen gave him...?
I saw a video with him playing it at this age but cannot remember which one. I have every intention of seeing him in person sometime soon!!!
Nice play, but still cold. He has no feeling and when you play the blues feelings is everything.
"Clapton is God " I was a kid saw that in a newspaper .,All the players comparisons ,he will be this and Clapton started this style of playing ,I wonder how Freddie King would of thought about that comment.Kinda weird stuff comparisons s its apples and bowlin balls . I remember being a giging house band in the same club connected to another club where Danny Gatton , Roy Buchanon would play jam there all the time and ppl would yell at those guys your the best theyd just
laugh. Enjoy the kid hes not anyone but himself and hes talented, Good guitar plyers dime a dozen lets see how this kid does I think he will do just fine .

I'm glad to hear that guitar players hear Clapton in this kids style. I really like this kid, look at him, he dresses like a kid, isn't flashy. He seems focused on the music and plays homage to all the great licks and guitar players. Let's not forget the great Buddy Guy, his influence and philosophy are just adding to this kid. He appears to have great respect for the other musicians on stage. He looked so funny that first time he appeared on stage with Buddy Guy but in that moment I saw what a giant Buddy Guy is. Buddy Guy is a very generous man and he recognized something great in this kid, I'll take his endorsement...this kid is something else!
Blayde Keel Very well stated Blayde. You caught it all in four verses and a chorus. Thanks.
Quinn is just an amazing player already. Even if he stagnates, (which I doubt he will) he'll still be a great player. He still has to mature in age, as a musician and as a human being. It will be interesting to hear him in collaboration with Tal in about 5-6 years time, wouldn't it? In my opinion, no one is or will be the best (that's a label we put on them). When it comes to players of that calibre, their horizons are that much wider than ours. The more you know, the more you realize what there is out there!
It's too bad that Quinn never got the chance to play this song and do some "cutting heads"with B.B. It would have been the classic meeting of the decade.
Actually he met bb
+SuperCarver2011 dont forget about clapton
