The genius of Robert Quine (with a look at Time by Richard Hell & The Voidoids)

[@danielhoffheins2068]

This video is why you are the hippest guitar channel on YT.

[@SyntagmaStation]

Totally agree. He’s been the king for a long time now.

[@chrisktcpt1252]

100%

[@andyglamrock]

Yeah, number one no question. There's also Guitar Gary, Romain CNC, Sebastien Meunier, Sparky Guitar but Adrian has been the king for over 10 years now.

[@PeterSchiffers]

The only seasons i like youtube is that i find videos like yours. I ve seen Quine with Lou in Düsseldorf in 80ties .Fantastic! Richard ,i ve seen in Essen with a young band .With my band we covered love comes in spurts. Thank you for your lovely work❤❤❤

[@iandavidson4852]

Magic stuff. Thank you for inhabiting a place in KZbin world that pays homage to artists that are sadly often overlooked. Quine was a genius. Superb playing...

[@khogg3581]

Matthew Sweet is a favorite of mine, and “Girlfriend” is a favorite album. Robert’s guitar work on that album is a key ingredient to its power pop brilliance. The album is my introduction to Robert, and led me to Richard Hell and the Voidoids.

[@giorgiocurcetti4001]

Finally! Geezer, total respect! I am an old boy, and Quine was one of my most important influences when I started playing guitar in 1979. Very few people know how great he was. He is one of New York music's best kept secrets. Glad you are there, man!

[@omgzrob]

The only comments I ever leave on KZbin are thank you comments under this channels videos. Thanks for another amazing song choice and lesson

[@BigAl6405]

For anyone who hasn't heard, the Minutemen have a recording of a great live version of this song with Mike Watt singing and D Boon doing back up vocals. Their joy playing it is audible. Worth a listen for any Minutemen fans.

@@kev.long1313I found it on KZbin it’s good tho

[@ShlomirBareket]

Welcome back Cotter! This lesson brings tears of joy to my heart! That reissue of 'Destiny Street' with all the versions is just the ultimate smorgasbord of New York punk shredding know to humanity - Quine/Ribot/Frissel - it just doesn't get any better!

[@elscotto9551]

I don't want to bring attention to your vocals because I know you've been reluctant in the past, but you absolutely shouldn't be. You hit every note and it brings so much context to the overall lesson. Please continue to add your vocals to each lesson.

[@BigAl6405]

Wow, I was just listening to Time the other day and thinking about how that solo is one of my all time favorites. Love your taste and lessons, man. So stoked to play this

[@jackperri3186]

Adrian THANK YOU 🙏🏻. Nobody else is doing Robert Quine lessons. Keep it up!

[@martynspooner5822]

Thanks as ever Adrian not only a great guitar player and instructor but an educator of music many missed or have not heard of.

[@baabaabaa-El]

Thanks Adrian! Quine's playing with the Voidoids was great.. Nailed the tone too,!!

[@BennytheDroid]

Yeah man, you get it. One of the best channels around.

[@eddienothing9610]

Single version is the hit. I was just telling a friend a few days ago that this prob my top favorite because-of-the-guitar song and here you go lol

[@theeouttheres3083]

thank you x1000. so much to love in the song and guitar playing (especially the version where the bass player is killin it too). much appreciated, the playing and talk around it!

[@cubistblues]

This was a request of mine from a few years back. Many thanks Adrian!

[@BellsCuriosityShop]

I only know Quine from first Voidoids album and a tv concert of him with Reed from NYC. He plays some amazing stuff. Need to check more out.

[@jordanjohnston91]

I've been waiting for a tutorial for this song for a long time and you absolutely nailed it as usual! Thank you Adrian!

[@mellojello766]

This lesson went by without my digging into it. I find some real nice movement and freedom. Sounds great on the Jazzmaster, nice and jangly.

[@ktk44man]

Been waiting for a good lesson of this song and you are the perfect person to make it!

[@jamesnetwall1193]

Love the video. More people should know about Robert Quine. 🎉🎉🎉

[@dreadydan]

Thanks for this musical tip off, never heard of these guys before and both albums are excellent on first listen.

[@albeech5157]

Love the credit to Ivan Julian. Saw him with Alejandro Escovedo in DC a few years ago.

[@seanhawks585]

He also plays solos on Sleeping in the Flowers and No One Knows My Plan by They Might Be Giants. Both songs are on John Henry.

[@johnl8081]

Thanks so much for this lesson! I recall, back in the 90’s, replicating his tones from the first Lloyd Cole solo album with a 80’s ‘62 reissue Strat and a Fender Super Champ, and then reading in Musician magazine that he was using the same setup for the recording sessions. I’m sure I have that issue in the attic somewhere.

[@AndrewAHayes]

I have some Richard Hell and the Voidoids records and haven't listened to them for ages, just changed that! and played along to them!

[@davidmarsh9897]

Great song choice, enjoyed this one, cheers.

[@Emlizardo]

Quine fans might also like to seek out the January 1986 issue of Guitar Player magazine. In it he gives a terrific interview, talking about all his favorite records, his influences, his gear, the whole shebang. His enthusiasm is palpable, which makes me miss him even more.

[@tonyevans9999]

what a hell of a player he was, such an inspiration

[@replaceablehead]

By far my favourite guitarist.

[@Mark70609]

Robert Quine is on the Lou Reed live in Italy album. It’s a strange line up on that album.

[@ConeFlower-gx2qk]

Damnnn I never thought to see anyone having a video on this

[@BeesWaxMinder]

RiP RQ (can't wait for volumes two and three…!)

[@ST-xg3gy]

Nice tribute. Much deserved! 👏

[@joshuagutierrez5533]

Robert Quine! His guitarwork on 'Betrayal Takes Two' is fantastic

[@deanjones1477]

Agreed 😊

[@mv7853]

This track is essential so thankful

[@leetaylor2072]

Brilliant video. Check out RQ’s work on the first Lloyd Cole self titled first solo album. Great guitar work on it

[@nostro1001]

I've still got his 'solo' albums with Jody Harris and Fred Maher from the early - mid 80s. Loved him with Lou Reed (waves of fear) & Matthew Sweet. Some of his more experimental work with John Zorn et. al are also worth checking out. Cheers!

[@Hempie51]

Love RQ. I love the stuff he did with Lou but I admit I never really dug into his other stuff. But will do immediately!

[@juliendrouot128]

One of my absolute heroes

[@donyoung7874]

Very cool! I first heard of Robert Quine from his work with Lou Reed and Matthew Sweet. Come to find out he's from my hometown of Akron, Ohio and a cousin of the The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach.

[@DrewTurock]

Same here - his work with Lou and Sweet too is just incredible!

[@chrissavage1534]

Quine also played some great stuff with Lloyd Cole.

[@srrecords]

This guy rules!

[@Icecream_ghost]

Great lesson, you totally cop Quine’s sound! Now I just need you to teach me how to play Staring In Her Eyes correctly!

[@13terrors]

This made my day

[@wsurfn]

Beautiful

[@thepostapocalyptictrio4762]

You should do “Waves of fear” Quine’s slide guitar part is legendary.

[@josealbaposse]

Extraordinario!!!Gracias!!!

[@dommccaffry3802]

Who else in the online guitar tuition world would feature robert quine ? I'll tell you; nobody. He did some great stuff on lloyd coles first solo album.

[@koreyarmstrong456]

Mas y mas y mas por favor!! Love Comes in Spurts or Blank Generation next PLEASE!!

AWESOME. ME TOO

[@stevet8444]

Thanks

[@fakeplastic1826]

Can you do some David Tattersall (Wave Pictures/Surfing Magazines)?

[@lamper2]

Great! consider a look at Don Ross Skinner's contribution to Julian Cope's amazing late 80's era. you're a good singer by the way.

[@darrylgoodwin7947]

Only on this show

[@liammcooper]

The song's so great that I never considered how bitchin the solo is, but yea Quine's the best "punk" guitarist and really the only one to play traditional solos, though Television probably has more intricate lines.

[@raycochrane3971]

Quountry Quine! It takes a while for the real Robert to come through in this song but I can't imagine Love Comes In Spurts being easy of sane to deconstruct. Destiny Street isn't much chop compared to the debut and Hell's decision to retrack with famously pleasant/conventional players is a disservice to write out Quine and cast blame regarding the relative failure of the original iteration.

[@Mrjrose01]

Adrian made a video for "Love Comes in Spurts" a couple of years ago!

[@ivesgrimonprez9640]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@PaulOwens]

Great track although I have to admit I only knew it from the Minutemen's version on 'Ballot Result.'

[@jonneedspedal]

I thought it sounded familiar

[@randydean23]

I feel like you can't talk about Quine without mentioning Richard Lloyd. Some of Lloyd's work with Matthew Sweet sounds more like Jimi Hendrix than Robin Trower or any other Hendrix-clone that came before or since. But I digress...

[@davidmontgomery5047]

And Richard even knew Jimi

[@sebastiansuarez9556]

Staring in her eyes ...

[@ParanoidGoblinoid]

I only know his Matthew Sweet material.

[@deanarnold6284]

Matthew Sweet enlisted 3 of the best sidemen, Quine, Lloyd and Julian…..

[@Jah_Rastafari_ORIG]

I love Robert Quine's playing but at the same time I fucking hate him because a friend of his stole my girlfriend...long story...

[@Spupilup]

Nauoooj

great but not for beginners
