As a blues musician for the past 40 odd years, I salute this beautiful young lady. She exceptionally talented when one considers that she is just 17 years old. So to those people who are negative and downright rude, stop with the jealousy. Give her the credit she deserves because I seriously doubt that most 17 years old's have got over picking their noses, let alone being able to play a guitar at the incredibly high standard she does. Get over yourselves.

Such a joy watching Grace play. Definitely following this player. So happy for her, and her success. Heart warming no doubt 💖

great blues feel... keep it alive! love those p90's

Just fantastic. Every video I watch of her performing, she plays something unexpected and very, very good. I hope she has every success she deserves.

Wow, she's phenomenal!

It's a relief to me watch, how a few great new musicians begin to save the future of rock&roll...

She’s awesome… but why the click bait?!?!? No like, no subscribe for you.

Not sure why John Mayer's name is attached to this. Grace is a great talent. I look forward to watching her develop as an artist and composer.

so natural! good music is still alive! if anybody lives in nashville...can i come stay for a month lol xxx

Nice to see some aggressive playing from young Grace. Also, the SG, which is played rarely and sounds so rich. Go girl from me a 72 year old life long player.

She is just a talented amateur player,but she is young and cute...and that's all folks!

She’s doing a great job, but I don’t think John Mayer is feeling threatened by her ability. Put 100 musicians in a room and they’re all going to have their take on life and playing. There’s no reason for envy or jealousy. Be yourself.

Wow! Thanks! ✌️🎻🙂😎

I wish there were some John Mayer in this video

Baloney. She's regurgitating riffs. BB King put more emotion in a single note than all of those fast finger-picked runs up and down the scale.

Just another one..... I have seen enough... I like how she has the frank marino thing with the jacket and SG... hope she gets a good job.... best of luck

Love that curly hair. So cute! And she doesn't appear to have deprecated herself with nasty tattoos.

That last segment reminded me of the sublime playing of the criminally underrated U.K. guitar god Bill Nelson (of Be Bop Deluxe fame). Just listen to the live version of Life in the Air Age🎸🤘🏻

Lots of People were or are great shedders at this age. She raises such a fuss because of her good looks. Samantha Fish is just ok as a player but that Face and Body causes more boys and men to go astray. Its called Show Biz for a reason. Bonnie Raitt has been one of the greatest female players for 30+ years.

I just don't get the need for the stupid click bait title and I reckon' Grace Bowers would probably be pretty embarassed by it.

Exactly!

"...metaphorically speaking" is not the best term to use, *_but,_* while it still smells like clickbait, it's meant to be interpreted as 'poetic license'. It just means this chick has some excellent feel and admirable ability that you wouldn't expect from someone her age, or from a girl, if you want to be regarded as a chauvinist. If you thought you'd see her and John Mayer in a chops throwdown, you were silly. From Merriam-Webster, ":deviation from fact, form, or rule by an artist or writer for the sake of the effect gained - poetic license"

She has a Blues heart Pure and honest! Some just have it like it,s ment to be that way!

Grace Bowers needs to meet and learn from Matteo Manuso.

Hannah Wicklund also had a great tone and playing. Her latest album though, I don't know. Her new BF, bassist of GvF, has spoilt her style I believe.

As a Gen-xer, I've seen and heard many great guitarists, and Grace is not one of them she's just KZread famous. When she starts putting out great albums like Texas flood, Axis bold as love, or Room for Squares, then maybe. So please stop putting all this pressure on this young lady and let her grow. Time will tell.

Grace how very beautiful is your playing And how beautiful you look with that Gibson SG strapped on. Praise the Lord ❤❤❤

hope she turns to jazz asap

@@c3N3q I think, most of the popular music is limited to 4/4 and there is 6/8 in many blues tunes. Also, melody wise, there are great guitarists in this young lady's genre but most of them are limited in that Nashville etc areas. Good and enough to entertain the audience though. I can enjoy a Bonamassa, but a Josh Smith or a Scott Henderson are my favs in this music.

Where does she get these axes?

Will be interesting to hear her in another few years with a bit of mileage under her belt.

She Will be Legend when make a long career and did something for music

She's good but she has a long way to go before she can show John Mayer "how its (sic) done".

Haha, I don't think John is going to be too intimidated, enough young guitar prospects around that you never really hear much from again. I hope John sees this and sees a cool colab. Her style and timing is pretty much perfect, a lot of emotion in the notes.

she's good, but not SRV. ballsy try though, and not far off. she just needs to live a little longer.

She needs to practice more I know she is young but one day she will be good

Hope she changes her hair style though. I keep imagining Albert Lee when she plays with her head down. She is amazing however and doesn’t play those Hello kitty guitars like Albert plays now.

She's very good....but It's rather inappropriate to compare her to John Mayer. She is not in his league...yet.

How many of you 'haters' play a guitar? how many of you have nailed your tone?

Give me a break bla bla jam night at the local bar

She's great, but she's not showing John Mayer anything.

I wish you knew what you’re talking about, John Mayer is one of the greatest guitarist on earth

Such a ridiculous title! Grace is an amazing talent but she isn't showing John Mayer anything at all, metaphorically or otherwise.

RIDICULOUS title. NO ONE shows John Mayer “how it’s done”, except BB King and Eric Clapton maybe. Such a ridiculous title. The title of the video tells me you don’t have faith in Grace Bowers. So unnecessary desperate attempt She doesn’t need it ffs.

So John Mayer needs a better promotion team? Is that the story? I'm seeing a whole lot of promotion and some C+ and B level performances.Less promotion, more playing and practice. ASTERISM - Church ( watch the Live in Studio version) Hal-Ca wrote when she was 14. That is showing how it is done. There is hundred other young bands that good. Just not so much in the US. Grace could be great, right now she is promising. Don't ruin her with this overhyping.

She’s good but Nashville has dozens of guitarists that are just as good or better. She’s getting attention because of her gender. Don’t get me wrong, I think she is super talented and I hope she makes it but there are so many dudes in Nashville that surpass her and they get overlooked for some reason. She had someone helping her to get to the right places and meet the right people. It’s great that she has a manager or whatever that knows the landscape and is putting her in the right places to succeed. Comparing her to SRV and others is just silly. Just my unimportant opinion that makes no difference whatsoever. I am glad there are young people that want to carry on the music, whether it be country, rock or blues.

She's marginal at best. You are exactly right, it's about gender....Gibson gave her an endorsement before she could even prove herself. How many tours has she done? How many albums has she sold? How many hit songs does she have online, or on the radio??? Zero....She has no street cred, yet has been overexposed by the ripe old age of 17....This is ridiculous....

She does have a really nice feel and you can hear many influences in her playing style. I hear at least 5 distinct artists she is taking from. It’s great. All artists do it. As she gets older and molds all those influences into her own true sound and style, she really will stand out. Good stuff. Not legendary, but really good.

There are lots of 17 yo's that can show John Mayer how it's done. He's a pop songwriter who dabbles in blues/rock, most overrated player on the planet. As a guitarist, Grace Bowers, along many many others, buries him.
