Performance: Wes Montgomery’s In Your Own Sweet Way
Welcome to My Web Site!
Hello Visitor! This new and mobile-friendly edition of tomswan.com puts simplicity and ease-of-use above fancy graphics. I created and continue to maintain this site myself and I invite you to take a look around. I am busier than ever writing, coding, shooting videos, playing my guitar and hanging out in my studio. So please check back often for new stuff.
This site is entirely free and always will be (except, naturally, items for sale in the Store). Browse around at will. If you find something interesting, please let me know, and please also tell your friends!
Some people ask why I do this. Simple. I was born to learn, explain, create and share. I love especially getting into music and programming subjects and then finding others with the same interests. The internet is everybody’s stage, of course. What’s here are some of my little contributions to the play.

A few words about me: Biography
Music for the Soul
It’s been over 50 years since I first picked up the guitar, and since then I’ve learned a lot of cool new tricks, but I’ve also gained a humble respect for tradition. Sometimes, the old ways outclass those of our digital age, and although there may be an app for it, I often prefer to jot down chord shapes and music on printed forms and score paper. This section collects all of the forms I use regularly — I designed them all — in PDF files that you are free to download, use, and share. Soon, in this section you’ll also find songs in printed form with tablature for guitarists, backing tracks, and audio clips: Music
Programming for the Mind
My other main interest — computer programming. Here be zip-file downloads of listings that accompany some of my books on C and C++ and other programming languages. More recently, I’ve been getting into scripting languages such as LilyPond and Asciidoc (which I am using to help publish these words). Check back here for more on those topics soon (teaser: some Javascript coming up too!): Programming
Blog Jam — ! ! ! NEW ! ! !
Every writer needs a blog, right? Finally I have one too, although I’m definitely late climbing onto the blogging bandwagon. I’ve composed only a few articles so far, but I have many more in the works on music, recording, and programming, some with companion videos: Blog
