Even better than the real thing? Well, no, but only because he didn’t write it. I am pretty sure Zappa would have had him in the band, “without a comma…” This guy is special. There is a new generation of musicians coming up over the last 10 odd years, I’ve noticed who love Zappa music and are prepared to study it to become great. The one thing Zappa could have done, which he obviously didn’t have the time for, is write the “Zappa’s Young Person’s Guide to Music Theory For Impossible Music’s” lol. Of course, we no longer have a mainstream music industry to get this stuff out there in the traditional sense, so UA-cam and the rest will have to suffice.
Great version of a FZ classic! For those of you who are new to Quinn, he was just a young kid that Buddy Guy learned of and brought him on stage through out Quinn's teen years. And it seems that Quinn just gets better and better.
Hi Quinn, somebody needs balls like the earth to touch Frank's themes. You are great, Im following you since you were a boy. Thank you for your talent and music. Hans 😊😊
I met Quinn when he was 12 or 13 in Youngsgown Ohio opening for Buddy Guy and than jamming with Guy on 2 songs . Future legend like Jor Bonamassa who l.met and talked a we ith. Also three locals kids near my house with this kind of talent at 12 and 13 l have met
Probably the hardest fans to win over in music are FZ fans. If Quinn played this note for note, I would have found a flaw. This is an amazing, FZ only song. I saw it live once, and was blown away. I really like this interpretation. It has to be played on a Gibson; but when I clicked on the link, I was hoping Quinn did a Fender interpretation. Honestly, I would probably of hated a BN version if someone played it on a Fender. I love the way Quinn plays the guitar; and I really appreciate that he played this song. If he put this version on a CD, I would listen to it over and over. Great job
ok .. lets be perfectly clear, frank zappa guitar solo on zoot allures was considered by many to be .. the greatest guitar solo ever .. .. this kid tackling 9t is unheard off , im absolutley blown away ..
This is beauty AND: isn't it amazing how Frank provided such wonderful vehicles for artists to feature their creativity through? Seriously, composition can get no better than the "conceptual continuity" Zappa left w/ us! He is ONE modern composer who, TRULY, refuses to die.
With Quinn playing guitar I don't know how anyone could give it a thumbs down . Even if I don't like the song ....I'm going to watch him shred on that 6 String !
Wow. No matter how many times I see this, or the Strat one, I'm filled. Emotion has always been key factor in listening to music. Thanks,Son. You're very much enjoyed. Craig.
Points for the effort... not a bad run at it. A little quick to let go of some moments... the poise adds that little extra passion! I like the little twisty pink napkinsish funk segment in the middle. It's a shame the band (bass and drums) can't figure out how to any thump and beat into this amazing song. Frank's freakishly good bands likely spoiled me, though. Thanks Quinn for one of the few covers of my favorite guitar work of all time.
Quinn un grand monsieur, excellent, Frank peut être fier, ce morceau est le plus beau du monde, je l'écoute sous toutes ses versions et celle-ci est magique un clin d'œil version funky-impro au milieu et les larmes me tombent!!
This pushed all my buttons , been following Quinns growth for a long time , good to see he has stepped up to the really hard stuff and crushed it , no stopping this guy.
Hey ya'll, it's all good. As someone said, it's just about enjoying Frank's music. I've heard Frank play his songs differently. Not too bad, here. Craig.
There is another video of this performance I think done professionally for Quinn with better sound and a better angle to see him playing but this is a great video too. Matt, you are right on there his tone is so awesome. You can really hear it better in the other video as far as his soloing parts. In this video, you can hear what he is doing during the organ solo much better than the other video. ua-cam.com/video/pRxXAGWaASk/v-deo.html try this link
I’m always happy to see people pay respect to Frank. So props for that. You certainly have the chops. But to me this comes off as a young man trying to conquer a Zappa landmark. Taking this much liberty with this song is somewhat sacrilegious to me. If I could play guitar as well as you can, and I was covering this song, I’d cover it to the letter. Check out Frank’s Mike Douglas appearance. If you’re going to play this song, it shouldn’t be about you, it should be about Frank. I’m sure the other 95% of your show is plenty of you time. I don’t mean to be disparaging, I just want Franks legacy respected. I’m sure I’ll get a ton of shit for this post, but I hope you get what I’m saying.
I saw Frank live many times and he never played a song the same way twice - his music was alive and ever changing, THAT is his legacy. So I seriously doubt he'd have any problem with this performance at all.
You apparently are not a musician. I’ve never played the same song the same way twice. Music is a glimpse into the soul of the person performing. It is open to interpretation. I’ve generally played a song based on how I feel at the moment I’m playing it. I’ve played guitar for 53 years. I enjoy listening to how someone interprets a song. It’s not blasphemy and no one should be stoned (throwing of rocks type) for it. As open a creator as FZ was I’d think he would appreciate hearing someone else’s take on his song. In music we all learn from each other. Now get over yourself. 🖕🤘
How do you give this a thumbs down? Geez I’m a diehard FZ fan and this guy’s interpretation is outstanding 😎
Even better than the real thing? Well, no, but only because he didn’t write it. I am pretty sure Zappa would have had him in the band, “without a comma…” This guy is special.

Never thought anyone could do justice to a Zappa cover, but this kid is superb. Frank would approve.
Yes, as a cover. It certainly wasn't Bozzio
I bet his mentor Buddy Guy wouldn't!
I wanted to say the same but feared it a haughty claim. Dude's rides the in-your-face attack wave that Frank ran with~
@@markwyman6753 I felt he was playing the notes, but didn't quite have the feel.
@@bigtone1348 ua-cam.com/video/yPJ1ybWo09s/v-deo.html
he made it his own. bloody amazing vibe, energy, voicings, phrasing, dynamic, creativity ....

as usual all haters in the comments can't play One Note.
Having good ears and lacking the ability to play is a plausible combination! In the comments I currently read one mildly critical reaction. Relax!

A truly spectacular version, faithful to the original and very personal at the same time. Frank Zappa would approve of this talented guy's rendition.

Not enough Zappa being covered imo. Nice work Quinn, you have my respect,😉👍👍👌
Most musicians just don't have the skills to attempt Zappa's music. His own bands were always being pushed to the limits of their abilities.

I like the little twisty pink napkinsish funk segment in the middle. It's a shame the band (bass and drums) can't figure out how to any thump and beat into this amazing song.

I think Frank would be pleased
Holy f-ck...Quinn tore the hell out of that Zappa cover! Unbelievable!
Great interpretation! Thnx!
Who the f*** is this guy! I love his musical artwork!!!!
Just the tone by itself was spot on. Really nice cover!
Dweezle can do this too
Just love It, The maestro lives forever.
Been a long time since I was totally blown away......this guy is great
Playing the guitar Ellen gave him on her show for playing when he was 6 years old. Classy man now.
Quinn un grand monsieur, excellent, Frank peut être fier, ce morceau est le plus beau du monde, je l'écoute sous toutes ses versions et celle-ci est magique un clin d'œil version funky-impro au milieu et les larmes me tombent!!
This pushed all my buttons , been following Quinns growth for a long time , good to see he has stepped up to the really hard stuff and crushed it , no stopping this guy.
Absolutely beautiful
It is a two chord jam soloing over them in the Phrygian Mode. Not a true cover.
absolutely outstanding !
It would be interesting to see him play with derek trucks
Really nice work. Great interpretation.
I’ve seen FZ plays this song with Eddy Jobson on violin in Amsterdam. But this also sounds extremely good. Love it
Frank is proud of this young man
He sure would approve 💯‼️
Too energetic-it's like someone else wrote it. Good guitar player-keep working.
I've seen this kid ...yikes
No flavor
Superb!!!!
Brilliant
👌🍻

Wow, i have no idea who this is but the dude can play. His tone is fantastic as well.
Matt Dickey keep you eye on him. Only 18 and playing like this. His studio work is blown away by his Live playing.
There is another video of this performance I think done professionally for Quinn with better sound and a better angle to see him playing but this is a great video too.

He is a prodigy who toured with his mentor, Buddy Guy, when he was very young. I saw him and Buddy Guy live once; both amazing.
your great man
Så skall det låta. Janne, Malmö, Sverige, och många tack gubben.
Excellent !
Great stuff, Quinn. Thanks
There's nothing this young man can't play!
Merci. Super !
Amazing....
bravissimo!
Tight band!
SUBLIME guitariste prodige , génial.............
18 years old. Can u believe this?
2 thumbs up,very nice
fuk yeh
Holy FN SHIT!!!
hey quinn where have you been
Incredible! 👍🏻
and the band is great thanks ...
very good
That was really nice
Wow
Damn....Son! Way to get in it!
great solo!
Frank left us nearly 26 years ago, how wonderful this is to witness.
extremely good, but i don't think you get a pass for ditching the correct ending...
Jazz is not dead... :)
It just smells funny

absolutely
this is excellent, I think Frank would be happy to have him in the band :)
