17-Year-Old Guitarist Grace Bowers is taking over Nashville (and the world) 

I'm only 15, been playing guitar for about 4 years now, and it's motivation that other young people are doing so well and so much in the music world like I want to eventually do

I remember watching her go live on Reddit, during the time that she spoke of, when shelter in place is implemented. She used to sit on the roof of her house and just jam on an acoustic, it was amazing she had to have been 13 or 14 at the time. She is a natural, this young lady has had it in her for quite some time, it's cool to see her flourish into her own right, in the professional music scene. She deserves every bit of recognition & success coming her way, phenomenal gifted musician.

I'm glad for her moment in time. Years from now, she'll look back fondness. Our LORD & KING, watch over your Princess. Give her wisdom beyond her years, and be her guard against the wolves.

Playing unplugged while watchin TV/Videos ia something I do to this day. Great video man.

The sad thing about this is that I am 54, played guitar since I was 15, been "lazy" about getting distracted about video games and other things--and could never play like this little guitar monster in my almost 40 years of playing. She is GREAT and obviously exceptionally gifted. (I love her vibrato!!)

This young lady is pure class!

Such a humble person with MAD skills and such a strong feel for melody. Beautiful young lady with a beautiful personality and the guitar chops to back it all up. Best of luck to her on a long long prosperous career.. ❤️❤️

Grace Bowers pure class act. So glad this found me. Looking forward to enjoying her from now on. The playing is joyful and love Grace’s spirit!

What a gift. I love her enthusiasm for all kinds of music.

Love hearing and seeing young folks passionate about music and especially guitar! She's great. I look forward to seeing what she comes up with in what will certainly be a long career in music.

This is SO GREAT!!! Honestly, I hope this inspires other girls to do their thing and own it. A lot of my favorite musicians in the last 30 years are women, and to see this kid be an ace at 17 makes me so happy and hopeful for the future. Tyler, you're terrific for doing this, and I sincerely hope Grace does take over the world.

The future of music is in safe hands 🤘Have been watching her on Instagram for a while now and she is amazing 🤘

Very humble little awesome guitar player. And so young. I'm going to follow this one, she is great to listen to. Both guitarists in this video were very good including the host.

Years ago, l was so excited to discover Grace and her talent. Now after years of grooming by her production team, l don’t know who she is musically. And l’ve seen every interview. I don’t know if she is a great improviser, session player, songwriter, received any formal music education, produced music for artists, performed on recordings for artists, played in music festivals, produced her own videos, gone on a live tour, signed a recording deal, or really been exposed to the public for scrutiny. But I have been told by every interviewer that she is a wonderful person and has individual characteristics that make her unique and amazingly special. And it’s been years of this. As someone who believes in her, l am beaten to death by the People magazine aspects of her life and need to be satisfied musically by her playing achievements. And years later l’m still waiting because of only two reasons- her production team doesn’t want that or she isn’t capable of that. Time to cut the bullshit.

as someone around the same age as grace, ive never been more inspired

What a wonderful, talented, tasteful player Grace is ! It’s just incomprehensible to me how anyone can get so good, so fast, so young ! Great work !

It's really exciting to see new young talent that can carry the torch of great music.

wow its amazing that she has only been playing for 4 or 5 years her playing is amazing ,I remember when Funk hit the radio years ago and I still love it so im excited to hearing her record ,I have seen her band on you tube and they sound amazing ,Good Luck to you Grace !!!!1

So great to see young people coming back to the guitar. It doesn’t hurt that she’s very likeable and cute, she actually gives me young Dolly vibes. Players like her will draw young guys back to the guitar and make it cool again!

I'm very happy to see and to listen for the first time in my life a woman playing so good the electric guitar. I know that she is not the first one and not also the only one. But I think my comment clearly tells what I mean... Keep on rockin'!!!

What an amazing musician, I can't wait for the rest of the album to come out.

I really enjoy your interviewing style, and the format of this along with a fantastic guest. Super nice job with this one!

I just learned of Grace's talents and was searching for videos when I came across this. We're going to hear a lot from her very soon, I think.

I just ran across a short of her today. Merci from Switzerland.

Its very exciting to see this bright and wholesome young talent learning the box from the king, destined to inspire a whole new generation of guitarists. For Grace: "about to rock, we salute you." 🤘👽🛸

great job on Grace! she is superb!

Amazing!! Great big successful career ahead of her! All the best!

This. This right here. Yes. YES. I love to see this. She's great, good personality, clearly a smart woman. Can't wait to see more of her. Cheers, mate!

I wonder how many kids got hooked on Guitar Hero and then went on to real guitar and got discouraged and quit. Millions. How many stuck with it? Enough to lead the instrument into the future. She also has a lot of influences from many styles of music which is rare for a young'in. I wish her well.

The catwalk in front of a stage is often called an "ego run" or "ego stage". Grace is awesome. She's inspiring for my autistic daughter who loves that Grace plays SGs.

First saw her with Marty Schwartz. Grace is a phenomenally talented and humble person! All the BEST to her!⭐️🙏⭐️

She's good. I had never heard of her until I found a video that Toby Lee was on stage with her.

She cracks me up. I’m in my 50’s and she looks like the poster of my generation. She has great thing going, great vision and understanding of the guitar. She looks amazing behind a guitar. It match made in heaven!

I flipping love her phrasing when you hop into the funky jam. It’s kind of messy and wild and I love that! Sounds like a human on a guitar. Can hear her feel and instinct battling with information in her brain! Beautiful girl, beautiful talent, beautiful guitar. Sauce!

The Nashville chapter being at the 6:15 timestamp is a nice touch.

Grace is absolutely phenomenal, especially when one considers that she is only 17 years old. On another video, someone said that the song she did was nowhere near as good as a well known and seasoned guitarist. My reply was simply, "and how good was that very experienced guitarist at the age of 17?" People tend to forget that when she is in her late thirties or forties, she would have improved exponentially with experience and just how good will she become if she is already so accomplished at her tender age of 17? For Grace, the world is at her feet right now and I expect great things from this young lady. So should you!

She's beautiful ❤️ amazing person she is

She's great. Her technique with the pick/fingers and the way she slides in and out of notes reminds me of Chris Buck's style.

wow shes simply amzing player. i look forward to watching her career.

She is just awsome!

Awesome vid and so refreshing that youth is still influenced by the great masters of the past. Blues, funk, soul, classic rock, hell ya! Plus playing an SG🤘 Next interview, Taj please😎

Ya gotta love the young talent that is out there these days!

In an old instructional video with Danny Gatton (circa 80's), he taught his different picking styles and exercises and quite literally said the same thing about sitting if front of the television with his guitar unplugged and practice those picking exercises...

I play with my fingers and never would have thought of the sleight of hand pick trick. That's awesome. What a cool person and great interview.

I feel grace on the "nice perm" bit. I grew my hair out and suddenly if started to get super curly and now it looks like I have a constant perm lol. Grace you have so far you will go, keep up the great work !

My guitar teacher told me that way back over 30yrs ago in the UK. Always have a guitar nearby and practice chords and scales while watching movies or TV! Great advice.

That special sounds awesome. Love the p blue

Grace is a badass!!! Keep it rollin' Grace !!!

Great interview!

incredible talent!

She's guna be incredible in her career.

This young lady is amazing

What... the Starcraft riff? Great throwback for me. Thanks.

So Great she is writing songs VS just doing RU-vid of her shredding. I hope she stays grounded and is successful for a long time.

She’s phenomenal

amazing !

I love her jam band style. 🎸✌️

Obviously she has great parents. they've done a great job with her in allowing her to express herself the way she wanted to

great interview!

Just found the young lady on my feed today. She is gifted.

Great episode... new player for me that i will be definitely be listening to more now. I am seeing more and more younger players fusing slide guitar style licks into thier playing and it sounds great... I am stealing it 😂

I love being the rhythm guitar to a player with skills like that. Makes it so fun to just sit back watch the wide. Makes me wonder if that’s what guys like Glenn Frey felt watching Felder and Walsh play

Shes awesome! Great attitude and player. Hopefully she inspires the new generation to pick up a guitar.

Cute, wish her the best with her bluesy shredding. Bluesy rock needs to make a comeback on the charts.

YOUR HEART IS PUMPING!!!!!

Pretty smart kid, I pray she' goes super far, man. Really cool Interview.

I've been following Grace on RU-vid for years, so it's great to see this video! It's been amazing to watch her picking and rhythm chops develop.

I love the SG love! My favorite guitar for the same reasons.

definitely a WIN!

Hot DAMN what feel and tone!

Oh my!!!! Girl, you are incredible!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

Hey congratulations Grace on all your success!! So I’ve also heard the cat walk thang referred to as an Ego Ramp??!! Love the channel keep up the great work!!

grace to the grace 💪💣💎

Hell yea!!!

I’m looking forward to hearing her new album. Funk/soul is a great idea. Every time is watching a reaction video to a disc or funk song the reactors wish they were around when that music was played. I think it could work:

The new generation of guitar is exciting! ⚡️

I dont think I've ever seen someone so charismatic.

Great ❤

You guys sound great together

She is so diverse in her playing. I've not seen a lot of her stuff, but she seems pretty cool. Great player and great hang? Doesn't get much better than that.

I started to play when I was 16, which was nearly 50 years ago. I had a stroke about 14 years ago. I'm starting to learn again as I can't remember how I used to play , thanks to RU-vid I'm sort of learning again, but seeing this wee lass I'm thinking of giving up she is great

John Pizzarelli said to always practice in a distracted environment. He feels it is the best preparation for live performing. The Gibson SG was originally called the Les Paul SG, until Gibson dropped the Les Paul part in 1963.

NICE!

She is a big wow, how she played the guitar😃

I am not a guitarist. But this was a great video. Loved every minute

Grace Rules!!!!!

niiiiice! me and my family saw her at a nashville predators hockey game. she's an incredible guitarist

Loving that mint green coily!

SHE HAS THAT OLE GUITAR SOUL, SHE' S GREAT!!!!!!!!!

I hope Grace has a long and successful career. She seems to be one of the good ones.

My 61 SG stays in tune wonderfully from about the end of April- September. Any other time I don’t even bother taking it out of its case anymore. Cool interview and perspective from a youngin

So I'm guessing someone is getting her the gigs? Is she working with a manager? I noticed she does a lot of interviews!

I actually started playing guitar when I was approximately 40 years old, 67 years old now Unwritten two songs the second one I wrote the lyrics and scored the music from memory from high school. The first one was called behold he comes the Days of Elijah. And the second one was one that I sent to ASCAP called love has a thousand faces. And I signed it with a surname called Randy Montana not knowing there was an actual individual like that. Put the bottom line when you send something to ASCAP you lose the rights to the song. But I just wanted to see if it would make it into the top five of 25 Country Countdown in 2011. And behold it did. The other song is still being played throughout the Nations and that was what I was told it would do. I'm not bragging just telling the truth. And it doesn't matter whether anyone believes me or not, because I know the truth and a few other people do as well

What an amazing person aside from her talent. Can't wait to see what the future brings with this super star.

Glad to hear someone pulling inspiration from Sly.

So true about Guitar Hero - Slow Ride !

Her attack and feel with her fingers vs pick is fantastic. Really enjoyed that. Don't get me wrong, she can pick too.

I was at the Basement for the album drop and remember seeing her play Jimmy Page like a natural. She has more talent in her pinky than most people have in their entire body. Keep going kid. Just keep going.

The way Nadi has been presented to the world makes me believe in her…the way Grace has been presented makes me feel like l’ve been manipulated to feel how l do

STARCRAFT!! Love the reference!
