This year's JFRocks Halloween Guitar Lesson update is a
JFRocks/Jeff Fiorentino take on the classic "Addams Family"
TV show theme.  As any fan of JFRocks.com knows my long time friend actor Keith Coogan was a huge help in putting together the original JFRocks.com.  We wanted in some way to have a little fun with Keith this Halloween season so we figured since his Grandfather Jackie Coogan was the original Uncle Fester on the Addams Family, and we already did the MUNSTERS theme, why not do the Addams Family theme song, with a twist of course.  We had no idea how popular the song would become online, but were pleasantly surprised by the response, even good old ABC gave us a thumbs up.

It's anything but easy to do re-makes of themes.  Not unlike 2010's "Surfing with MUNSTERS" the original "Addams Family" theme is a bit cartoon-like and not unlike the show's characters isn't really designed to be evil, but more Monster Mash children's Halloween party in nature.  To that end I've made a key change to "F#m" from the original theme's "Gm" key, and added in some "Highway to Hell" esque riffing and a melodic solo.

**This guitar lesson includes a song example mp3, note for note guitar tabs, a video guitar lesson
with Jeff Fiorentino, and jam tracks for you to practice and record with.
