Biography
Clarelynn Rose is an American-born, UK-based fingerstyle guitarist, composer, and spiritual wanderer whose music serves as a living meditation. A self-taught pioneer of Guitar Dharma, she weaves together nature-based tunings, textures, and musical images to create lyrical soundscapes with over 5 million streams on Pandora.
Her deep connection to the natural world began while studying forestry among the California redwoods, where she learned to listen with her entire body. Spending years caring for trees taught her a patience that flows directly through her strings.

Inspired by the open tunings of Alex de Grassi and Joni Mitchell, Clarelynn plays entirely by ear, mapping her custom tunings to the natural places that inspire her. For Clarelynn, guitar is an extension of her Buddhist practice. Approaching music as mettā (loving-kindness), her expressive compositions create a field of peace. Music from the heart, for the heart.
