About Us

The Guitar Journal is a blog and podcast dedicated to guitar players who want to go deeper — into tone, technique, gear, and the stories behind the music.

Started by guitarist Jesse Paliotto, The Guitar Journal began as a personal blog and has grown into a digital home for players who love exploring the edges of guitar music. Whether you're into fingerstyle, jazz, ambient textures, or modern production techniques, this is your corner of the internet.

Who It's For

We make this for the thoughtful guitarists — the ones who stay up late figuring out chord voicings, who record ambient loops for no one but themselves, who geek out over songwriting methdologies.

If you care about making music — you're in the right place.
