The Van Halen-style stuff - (Jeff Fiorentino, ASCAP)

"Kanan Dume Hop", is a term we have in my circle for getting from the Canyon to the Beach. It's a twisting turning road that's a blast in a sports car or on a bike, when they're not tearing up the road to rebuild it. This track is as its title would suggest, "a hop". The main theme riff jumps, followed by a side-ways grooving bridge, and a searing guitar solo down the middle of it all. As always,...

"Out-Foxed" is a heavily (and intentionally) Van Halen influenced guitar riff-monster of an instrumental, produced for film and television licensing, and my Brown Sound tips page at http://JFRocks.com. This track utilizes a classic MXR Phase 90 and Flanger fueled early Van Halen Brown-Sound throughout. The main riffing and vibe of this track is based loosely on Hendrix's classic "Foxy Lady", but o...

"Doctor Whom" - (The GuiTardis), is an obvious play on words albeit a grammatically incorrect one off "Doctor Who". Being a big Doctor Who fan I always like to work with themes in mind for tracks, and in honor of the good Doctor's season 9 guitar duel, I thought this would be fitting.. This track is built on a mix of intricate two-hand guitar riffs and an almost Rhoads style main guitar hook that...

"Auntie Bacterial", named as a cheeky play on words, produced for film and Television licening, is a Hard Rock Guitar Instrumental piece that's built on a solid mode shifting guitar hook and a melodic yet driving bridge. Cut down the middle with a slick guitar solo, this track is yet another one probably well worth blowing a set of speakers over for sure. Since I often get asked about sound. This...

"Mood Swing", (originally titled: West Coast Mood Swing), is a jumpin' Hard Rock very Van Halen inspired piece that trips along at a moderately fast 178 beats per minute. This track is built on about 5 guitar hooks, but 2 main ones. As its title would suggest it jumps moods quite a bit, always keeping the same general vibe, but still taking you on a bit of a ride so to speak.. Cut down the middle...

"Freeze Dried Friend", (definition: a friend who only comes around when they need something, and when they don't, they sit seemingly freeze dried on a shelf somewhere until they do.) This track is a serious Hard Rock Guitar instrumental with a strong MXR Flanger tone and a Phase 90 fueled improv guitar solo down the middle. "Freeze Dried Friends" suck, but the song here that was inspired by them s...

"Get a Room!!" is a heavily Van Halen (obvious) influnced piece that I produced for a local filmmaker here in Los Angeles for a project he's hard at work on. This track is set to open his film, and if you crank your volume way up as far as it'll go, you'll probably get an idea of why whether the movie is good or not, everyone will dig the beginning of it anyway. LOL That said, this track is built...

"Banana Bender" is a Hard Rock Guitar Instrumental produced for film and TV licensing. This track as with most of my stuff is a guitar hook based piece. It's built on 3 song sections, with a root guitar hook riff holding it all together. This song has 2 guitar solos, each one wide stereo and MXR Phase 90 powered. The first guitar solo is a mix of melodic and shred and utilizes a lot of intricate V...

"Fight or Flight", is a Hard Rock, infectious Pop/Commercial Rock Guitar instrumental. This track is built on a solid catchy guitar hook used as its chorus and main theme riff, coupled with an edgy verse riff. The song's guitar solo is split into to sections. The first is an almost Rhoads Chorus type guitar tone, with lots of stretchy runs. The solo's second half is a Phase 90 powered guitar lead...

"Dodgy Bog", (which f.y.i. is British slang for Disgusting Toilet or Restroom) is a Drop D Guitar tuned riffed out, funky side-ways groove Hard Rock instrumental. I produced this track for film and TV licensing as with most of my tracks, but in this track's case I went a little more Jazzy artsy with it, especially in the guitar solo, where I'm really just doing improv Jazz techniques while shiftin...

"Aluminum Man (Yes He CAN)"> ,,, (FYI, the Aluminum Man is me..read on...) "Aluminum Man" is a Van Halen style riffed out beast of a track. Lot's of classic Van Halen Phase 90 tones here with a rich warm early Brown Sound. The riffing itself is really true to Edward VH style hooks and leads, and obviously this is very intentional on my part. This song will likely be licensed to TV, and will also o...

“I Must Be Somebody” is a really fun, cool, early Van Halen influenced piece, with what I think is a great “walking” hook riff, and a really fun guitar solo.

This is a Halen'ized version of Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode which was recorded on Valentine's Day February 14, 2009 for JFRocks.com Vh'izing cover songs part 11. We nicknamed this track "Sugar Rush in Studio City" because we were left alone at producer Alan Davis's house in Studio City California with a pile load of Valentine's Candy, recording equipment, and some time to kill. The end result of...
