Way of the Guitar

“I’m Dan Cosley — guitarist, composer, and educator. Over the past 25 years, I’ve published 40+ books on musicianship, recorded multiple albums, taught students worldwide, and served as a college music professor for two decades. My passion is transforming the complexity of scales, chords, modes, and arpeggios into a clear system any guitarist can use — not only to improvise with confidence, but also to unlock classical works through a deeper understanding of fretboard harmony and technique. That’s why I created Way of the Guitar — so you don’t waste years memorizing disconnected shapes, but instead gain the freedom and confidence to understand the language of music and make it your own.”
