Album Notes

Instrumental albums tell stories about life, worldly feelings and personal emotions, if done right the listener will catch these things and be whisked away. "All I Wanna Do" shows off the hidden truth in music, soft touches, in your face guitars and a powerful landscape of raw emotion.
Very much like a classic Joe Satriani release, George Arriola has tapped into a world of perfection. There is truly something here for every music fan. From the raw sassy opening track to the amazing soft "Melody's Joy" there's diversity throughout. Not one track is a like, which is a good thing and one that is clearly hard to find in music these days. Instrumental albums are hard to come by in a time when music can be generated by a computer. "All I Wanna Do" takes you back to the raw power of true musicianship, long drum solos, guitar riffs that have no end and the idea that you are there with George in the studio watching him put these tunes down on the disc itself.
+ Diversity, there was never a dull moment, every track has its own path. The sound quality of the album is dependent on each individual track. I really enjoyed the fact that every instrument is showcased prominently; The bass guitar has its own time, front and center as does the drums. Nothing was overdone, everything flowed. The guitar playing of course is top notch!

George Arriola has three CD's that show his various styles of composing, playing and singing. His "Thank You" CD with his soothing vocals shows his mellow side, his "latest release "All I Wanna Do" (Progressive Instrumental Rock) shows his rock side and the "River of Life" CD featuring Patricia Ivey on lead vocals shoes his Progressive Contemporary Christian Rock side.
