Description
What is Zen guitar all about, anyway? "Play what sounds good, don't play what doesn't sound good," says self-taught guitarist Clarelynn Rose.
Elegant Tern's soulful Celtic New Age instrumental guitar pieces were written by a musician with virtually no formal training (although blessed to have Alex de Grassi and John Renbourn as mentors), who doesn't read guitar music and remembers alternate tunings by pneumonic devices like "The Doorbell Tuning." The result? An artist who is "the equal of any other acoustic guitarist in this field currently recording...Alex de Grassi is an apt comparison," says one Minnesota radio DJ.
Nourish your soul with these heartfelt guitar solos, perfect while reading, cooking, or just day-dreaming. Uplifting and comforting, like a refreshing evening breeze. Great for Sunday brunch!
"There is just something about the way she plays, ...the way she touches the strings which is strongly feminine. I'm not sure I've ever heard this from any other female artist...This attribute is one of the things which really makes the album stand out... a fresh, original, approach. It runs away from the average acoustic guitar album...conveying a wealth of warm (and) true emotions. "
--Guitar Noise
"Clarelynn's music soars to great heights of technical and emotional excellence. From the drone-like Celtic feel of the title song, with its series of extremely interesting rhythmic variations, to the beautiful sustained harmonics of "Pacific," this is a guitarist's CD that will be equally enjoyable to the non-player as well."

"I named it as one of my favorite recordings of 2002. The entire album resonates with gentility, emotion, and grace. Clarelynn Rose displays an abundance of technique yet never calls attention to it with showiness or ostentatious fireworks."
--Bill Binkelman, KFAI Radio, Minnesota
