Welcome to

Tom Crean's OLD guitar journal


Here is the original journal. This format was only used for the journal's first year and is no longer updated.
Here is The Current Guitar Journal which is podcast (and listed in iTunes!)


This journal of mine will be similar to most journals. The major difference will be every entry will be a mp3 file and that there probably won't be new entries every day. I will have an entry every time I feel like it.

These entries are not recorded on my expensive recording studio software (For those curious I use Sonar 3 and a Motu 828mkII.) Most journals are not written on expensive archival quality paper. I instead choose to use Audacity for each entry. The high quality and the intuitive nature of this program was my reasoning. Additionally, I choose Audacity because I wanted to use a means to document myself that is reachable to all. Audacity is an Open Source program available at audacity.sourcefore.net.   For this project the majority of the entries were recorded in Linux. (The earlier entries in Suse 9.1 and recently in Dynebolic 1.3.)

Like a real Journal, I did not fix my mistakes. I did no multiple takes. If I made a mistake, was out of tune, or miked myself incorrectly, oh well...............

Enjoy...............
