Jfrocks and Guitar Dude Jeff Fiorentino anyone know the history?

Answer 1

This is from the wiki about page for Jfrocks.com but I added to it being a fan of Jeff's since 2004 when I first found the site from a link posted in the eddievanhalen.com forum website. I don't think Jeff likes personal info floating around but I found this question and had an answer so take it for what it's worth.

The JFRocks.com guitar instructional website was founded in early July of 2001 by Los Angeles based studio & sessions guitarist Jeff Fiorentino. The website was put together oddly enough while Jeff was doing a play with a few friends. We don't think of Jeff as an actor and he's not. He was doing the music for the play and what started out as s simple idea put forth by Jeff to the cast of the play has now turned into one of the most legendary and famous guitar lesson websites on the internet.

Jeff Fiorentino is an American born Studio/Sessions guitarist. Born July 10, 1974 in Springfield Massachusetts (although some reports around the internet have Jeff being born in 1968 & 1970, my guess is 1974 is more accurate). Jeff Fiorentino has been both an industry and freelance studio and sessions guitarist in Los Angeles and New York since the early 90's. In fact guitar is pretty much all Jeff has ever done for a living, although he did teach Martial Arts at a school in Burbank California for a brief period in the mid 1990's. Jeff currently resides, and the jfrocks.com website is based out of Santa Monica CA Los Angeles.

Guitarist Jeff Fiorentino is best known among industry people and radio people in particular for his commercial work, having written literally hundreds of riffs and hooks for Radio and TV commercial spots and promos for both national and local markets. Jeff has also done background wrap up music for networks like ESPN and ABC.
