J-Rok (Jeff Harris)
--------------------------------------------------------
L.A. native J-Rok was divinely inspired to pick up a guitar after his cousin Ronnie turned him on to the best that ever freaked it, Jimi Hendrix. Though his father tried to force him to start on an acoustic (he refused to play it), at 16, J-Rok picked up a used electric axe, teaching himself to solo by sitting at the organ and using the foot pedals to create keys and progressions over which his fingers would fly up and down the frets for hours on end. Post-"Purple Haze," J-Rok graduated to the soul music of James Brown and Aretha Franklin, later soaking up the blistering rock runs of Steve Lukather, Yngwie Malmsteen and George Lynch (of Dokken). J-Rok is a full-service player whose engineering know-how enabled him to invent the AxeTrak, a device which funnels hard-crunchin', Marshall stack-worthy guitar tones direct to studio boards without all the amplitude. Genius!
