So if you could only listen to one guitarist for the rest of your life?

[deathstrike from hell]

My choice. Yours??

 

[Dead Winter]

Jerry Cantrell.

 

[Liverslapper]

 

[Shpongled]

Hard question, but I know I could never possibly get tired of this guy's riffs.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Ziltoid

 

[Metalmilitia2000]

Jeff Waters

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Borknagar, obviously. Maybe AIC for consistency.

 

[Altitudes]

I agree with OP, Paul Gilbert takes the cake.

He is the most versatile and well-round guitarist there is. I would choose him because he wouldn't get boring to listen to and he could always do cover songs too, so he covers the whole spectrum of rock guitar

 

[perfecterror]

Uh, Jeff Loomis.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

That's definitely a choice with a lot of variety.

 

[Liverslapper]

 

[Altitudes]

That's definitely a choice with a lot of variety.

HAHA!

 

[sixstringer76]

No brainer for me , absolutely Criss Oliva !!!

 

[azal]

^good call.

 

[Morbides]

^ Idd.

Oh I don't know..can't really narrow it down to just one..Paco de Lucia is up there..so are Santana and Hendrix.
Then there's Jon Hudson and James Mankey(vewy vewy underrated).

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

no, i couldn't

 

[derek]

Myself.

 

[Captain Beard]

Probably Tony Iommi.

 

[DarkGift]

mikael åkerfeldt or karl sanders probably

 

[derrickm]

Steve Vai...hands down for me.
