American guitarist (born 1959)
Musical artist
Tracy Grijalva (born January 3, 1959), known as Tracy G , is an American heavy metal guitarist best known for his time with Dio from 1993 to 1999.
Early life
[ edit ]
Tracy's first band experience was in band called the Grijalva Brothers with his father as member. Growing up he had a few guitar instructors, one of them told him that he would have a hard time playing because "his fingers were too small". Grijalva, being the determined musician that he was, would practice until his fingers hurt.
Influences
[ edit ]
Tracy gives credit to Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen ) and Donny Simmons (Yankee Rose , Stormer )[1] for influencing his playing, especially referring to Simmons as 'his idol'.[2]
Career
[ edit ]
He would later play in a variety of bands, including with future member of Great White , Jack Russell . He also put together the bands Love/Hate with singer Jizzy Pearl , and Swift Kick with whom he released an EP "Long Live Rock" in 1984.[3] He would play at almost any club he could find to get his publicity out. He also played with vocalist Rudy Torres and drummer Audie Desbrow (Great White) in Riff Raff, a very popular band around southern California in the early days of hard rock and heavy metal.
Tracy then joined Dio . In his six years with the band, Tracy G was featured on two studio albums, (Strange Highways and Angry Machines ), and one live album (Inferno: Last in Live ). He left the band in 1999 when he was asked to play rhythm guitar while Craig Goldy took lead . [citation needed ] Dio decided to bring back Goldy, who had played with him on the Dream Evil album.
Tracy G formed The Tracy G Group, which included Jeremy Masana on bass guitar, Donnie Rodriguez on drums and, respectively, Tracy G on guitar.[4]
Further, Tracy G is in the band Goad-ed. They have released two album,s and Tracy has released numerous solo albums as well.[5]
Tracy is working with members of Barren Cross in a new project called Gale Force. The album is called subhuman and was released in 2021. [citation needed ]
