Her personality is as great as her playing. So much maturity, wisdom, and poise. I wish all the best for her!

This girl is making kids want to pick up the guitar. Thats a huge deal. This industry has enough grumpy old men. Love to see it 🤘

@@vaportrails7943 There has always been lots of great musicians going nowhere. Often they lack the creativity, but knowing the right people and writing/finding the right songs is crucial too. Finally you need a bit of luck to release the right material at the right time. For most hits in history you can find multiple very similar well produced songs by other artists/bands of that time that went nowhere.

Very genuine, humble, young lady. Hell of a player. Love to see it.

Grace is such an honest, original and authentic talent ......one of the most exciting musicians to emerge in a very long time..... Such a lovely personality with confidence and guitar knowledge beyond her years. This is an excellent interview .........Thank You Premier Guitar 🙏

I could listen to that intro over and over. P90s really are a gift

The girl can play!! If this is what the young generation is coming to, I don’t think we have to worry about the guitar dying out any time soon.

Sadly, more don’t care about older music, unless it’s on a movie or clip they watch. There are far more who only listen to mainstream pop music, rap and R&B. Some, also listen to pop country, which most of it is now. I’ve played with some younger folks, in the past few years, and they take they compile set lists, based on videos or stickers on the most covered songs. I played with a band thst wanted to do a Reggae meets Southern Rock vibe, and the number of songs they had, that they thought were originals, by either Ziggy, Stephen or Damian Marley, but were actually covers of their father’s was shocking. I then played 5 or 6 Marley songs so know, that aren’t on the Greatest Hits album, snd they’d heard none of them before. I found this with several groups of musicians I played with. They’d know an artist from the past 20 years, maybe back to the 90’s, but other than the most well known ones, they wouldn’t know the music. Most of them had never played a Hendrix song, or so they thought, because several though Little Wing and/or Bold as love were SRV and John Mayer songs. I asked if they ever liked at the songwriting credits, snd most said no. I’ve found young players, who are doing better songs, like Grace, and know their music history more, but they were the exception. *guitar isn’t dying, it’s just a million miles from being a part of the mainstream, as it was in every decade since the 60’s, through the horrid 2001-2010 years. Always grateful musicians out there, but most rely on playlists made by a streaming service for them, instead of listening to an album by one artist.

God that 335!! What a great kid! Great job John!

Such a great talent, especially at her age. I hope we will be listening to her contributions for long time to come!

Wow! Her playing that Les Paul - just, WOW! If she plays near me, I'm definitely going.

What a star ! Awesome talent and she genuinely seems like a good egg

Put a Music City Bridge on that thing. Uncle Larry rules.

That '61 SG is beautiful 😮

Go Grace! Love your phrasing and riffs. Can't wait to hear the record.

Very cool! I hope to see more Rig Rundowns of Grace in the future. Seeing a musician grow as an artist and gear head is always interesting to see. :)

What an amazing player! Great interview

Rock and roll will never die

Amazing!

Go Grace Go ❤

What a find this young lady is, personality, intelligence, talent, beauty..... she has it all. The future looks bright for you Grace and I hope you have a super career ahead of you. You certainly deserve it. I am blown away by your skill and at only 17 years old it is incredible. I have played blues for over 40 years and am so envious of your talent at such a young age. At 17, I think I was still trying to work out who I was. I was clueless at 17 and here you are, confident, mature, intelligent and so talented. Keep on rocking Grace, and everything of the very best for your future.

Very awesome you are doing artists that are breaking in and breaking out.

I love how she cracks herself up...great playing...great guitars ! Thanks P.G. !

She’s a smart, talented and lovely young woman. Love her playing style, it’s unique.

So comforting to see a real ORIGINAL player. Love the way she slides through notes!

Love the sg finally some love

She has a nice touch with her right hand adding so much tone wirh her fingers.

I just love the presenter as always ✌🏻

It’s one thing to have technique but this girl has Soul in her playing. Keep it up!

She makes that sg sound like a tele

Grace rawks! She's an old soul on the strings and tone oozes from her young fingers. She deserves every bit of praise she's received and then some!

She's a fantastic player!

How do you know someone is a guitar prodigy? When they are 17 years old and people are gifting or lending them a '61 SG, a '59 Burst, and a '60 335. Also when everyone in Nashville wants to play with them (or do interviews). Looking forward to everything Grace is going to do with the guitar!

Nice finishing chord on that opening jam.

Holy crap she's amazing at it. 😎🤘

People think she has a huge repertoire she's only 17 let her grow damn

Pretty sure either A LOT of people are aware or NOT aware, but that "pick hold" is originally from King Edward, I trained myself after noticing him doing it between "tapping" way back in the time of rewinding VHS Tapes! Super Cool 😎

The 335 had the low E thru the tailpiece but all other strings top wrapped. Cool…never saw that before.

I confess I don't know country music but I was NOT ready for that sound at 16:35. Really interesting rundown, thanks.

Talented girl! Has an old soul in her, thank God we still have young people like this to save the world

Ok! YES!

Yep. She is cool.

what a nice person, love her playing..interesting SG...with no bridge🙂

Sg is my dream guitar too

My brother-in-law grew up friends and playing baseball with the Osborne boys in Deale MD. Good to see some Maryland boys doing well in the music business.

1/3 my age playing guitars old than me with skill and inspiration. Hope for the future is strong.

My thoughts exactly....

Get that!!!

Dude! Off topic, very cool eyeglass frames.

Has it been all this time already? I remember when she was just a kid posting noodling clips from her porch during covid years...

To all the haters here , grow up. Can't we just wish her all the best in her career. It seems like a lot of jealousy out there. Go Grace Go

There are videos out there of her playing high school talent shows and playing the National Anthem at minor league baseball games Gibson signed her early and is guiding her career Now she has become a young woman and not some kid just playing riffs on social media

Awesome interview.

Santana started out on a SG with P90s as well, as seen on Woodstock.

Love her curly hair! Cute!

Which strings actually die after one show?

Need to learn Alvin lee's jams...Es335. Such a beautiful guitar...

She is going to be massive....

Awesome guitar player. Awesome hair.

She has to be some legend reincarnated to be that good at 17

Hey man, when are you going to interview ' Body Count?

Grace is the kinda Girl you want to hang out with and talk about guitar stuff all day long

The 335 is the producer’s.

Well people are wondering if these interviews and her marketing are being paid off to push views and attention. I'll tell you what. I dont care! the guitar is being pushed more in modern culture! its a win!

... SHE'S ONLY 17? ( WINGER?!?!??!) And that's so many have already said, SO HUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!! And that 335!!! It only needs a strat pickup and lots of stickers to be Alvin Lee's!!!!!!!!!! And... She's got her hands... Those amazing, lovely hands, on a 1959 Les Paul!!!!!!!!!!!! And she's very young, and has to be experienced, So I'll forgive her 😸 for not using a Vox AC30!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. And... Her inexperience with pedals, to get the best tone she could POSSIBLY HAVE!!!!!!!!!! And, great video of how pedal noise DISAPPEARS when you're playing!... And..."roll the dice on that one!!!"... And... FINALLY a video where you can hear the gear!!!!!!!!!!!

7:45 - she's so mature she even came up with a lame dad joke :)

I got so nervous about the SG sitting against the couch and not in a case that I just couldn't watch and not be worried about some accident happening to her great guitar.

Like what kind of accident? A bomb going off?

Cute with curly hair. I don't have this advantage :)

Sure, she doesn't know the correct names of pedals and amps or the true historical value of what she is holding. However, this means she approaches guitar with simple overwhelming raw talent with an ear for tone untainted by bias. She is the definition of genius.

What a sweetheart. 😋

So they did this before she got her big pedalboard😂

Ok

I bet John Osbourne loves that belt buckle and zipper jacket kissing his 335...😀

At least there are some real ones like Kingfish.

Opening jam ... a style not so dissimilar to John I dare say

Suhweet, she seemed nervous in a very legit innocent way. I hope the industry does not ruing that.

She’s gorgeous. Like a talented Taylor swift kind 😂

Neural DSP advert

Great rig rundown, but seriously John… white socks!? Really????!!! 😂 (just having fun)

Weird thing to keep that vibrato still on there 😆 🤣 I'd have to take that off

Hopefully, she'll turn more kids on to the Blues.

Wow! If it is true that there are actually guitar folk on here who are hating and dissing then i think its hilarious. I mean youre the guy sat watching her on youtube getting all jealous and getting on your soapbox like you have a remotely relevant opinion! Commenting with your judgement on her skill level is something that doesnt help anyone. In the words of the great Billy Gibbons, " you dont have to be the best one, just be a good un" and also the only opinion that counts is your own cos anyone who doesnt like it just doesnt get it, and those are the words of the great Me!

Man, the noise floor on that amp, they are such noisy models…get her an amp to match those guitars asap 😉👍

Something weird is going on here. There are many 17 year old guitar players who are better than she is, but she gets all these opportunities? It’s not like she sings either. Is her dad the head of a label or something?
