If I could play guitar like anyone I would play like:

Stephen Pearcy
Ted Nugent
Warren De Martini
CC Deville
Andy La Rocque
Pete Blakk
Steve Stevens
Chris Holmes
Zakk Wylde
Rudolf Schenker
Rowan Robertson

That is all I can think of for now!
Thanks for asking!

I'm inclined to pick on any day from one of the following:

Criss Oliva
Alex Skolnick
Satch
Fast Eddie

I guess they are almost in order. I could be real technically proficient if i played like satch though. Oliva just had the riffs and the leads(and so does skolnick).

Oh, no-o-o... Satriani is scary... If I started playing like him, I'd go bonkers in no time... I'd rather stick to something safe, like eh-h... hm... how about Hendrix? I wouldn't mind being able to play like Hendrix... Oh no, hold on, Hendrix is quite crazy too, too wild of an imagination. I'd say - Jimmy Page. Yes.

Hey, this is a topic I actually think about a lot. Well, I'll probably take a lot of heat for this, but I am going to say it anyway. If I could play like anyone it would be Edward Van Halen. Now, stop, wait a minute and let me explain. Forget about all the tricks harmonics and the two handed circus act for a minute. That's not what I am talking about. The quality that Eddie has that I have always tried to emulate, but never quite nailed is the way his songs FLOW. Like, it seems like his songs are a steeplechase from start to finish with lots of intersting little dips and changes, deviations from what you would expect. It's kinda hard to explain. A lot of songs, once you've learned a few main parts, you can play the song all the way through, but with VH stuff you often have to make a project out of every song, because there is so much content and color to seemingly similar parts. A few other guys who IMO did this well were Randy Rhoads, although his style was a little less free or open than EVH, and definately Hendrix. Voodoo Child is a good example of what I am talking about and, IMO, one of the all time masterpieces of guitar playing.

Anyway, I am putting my flame sheilds up at this point, so do your worst! [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

If I could play like anyone itd be the Nuge. Hes one of the best out there. I'd also like to play like Jimi or Slash. Especially slash as he is a rock god.

Holy Jebus!!! So many to choose from!! I don't think I'd pick one person, I'd take a mixture of John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Jim Matheos (Fates Warning), Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson), Marty Friedman (Crappy techno project -- but former Megadeth/Cacophony), Chris Degarmo (former Queensryche), Roy Z (Bruce Dickinson), and little Chuck Schuldiner (Death) -- just because he rules. All in all, I'd have to say I'd be one kick-ass guitarist!!

But if I could only pick one, I give anything to be able to play like John Petrucci. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Slash. Not the most technically profound, but great taste and feeling to his solos
