Mentioned in the January 1986 Guitar Player interview "Robert Quine: Newark's Reverent Iconoclast" by Gene Santoro.

The next stage in Robert's musical evolution was obvious — and frustrating. "In 1958," he begins, "I got this cheap f-hole acoustic guitar and took lessons for a month from some guy about 70 years old. He gave me a 1938 Gibson guitar book with 'Yankee Doodle' and stuff like that. I kept telling him, 'All I want to do is play these simple chords,' and he kept telling me, 'You cannot do this. First, you have to learn how to read music and learn where every note on the fingerboard is. Then, after about a year, you can play these chords.' That quickly killed my interest in the guitar."
