The Quarrymen is a Blues act. Their sound grew out of Larry Williams, Gene Vincent, Little Richard, The Everly Brothers and Carl Perkins. Those roots explain a lot about how The Quarrymen arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Beatles, Paul McCartney & Wings, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Buddy Holly and Linda McCartney, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Beatles and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
