John Petrucci. He can seem to cover every genre with ease.
If you could play like anyone, who would it be?

Always really dug that dude's playing, especially in Beautiful Creatures. Some of that kind of style would definitely be on my wishlist as well.
Also, nice avatar! I guess we're Gir brothers LOL

The solo style of Vai, the rhythm of Hetfield.
I think that covers everything.

Someone who isn't me? Bill Frisell, probably.
Lets say a mix of Shawn Lane and Alan Holdsworth.
Then I'd play something completely different from the both of them, but I'd love their technique

Danny Gatton, hands down.
Phenomenal player, his chord knowledge is unparalleled, and everyone I know who is old enough to have seen him perform live have told me that he was just mind blowingly good.
He could do so much with just a tele. There's a video of him playing jazz, and it's inspiring.
I believe it's in a Holiday Inn of all places.

Yeah, Ashba is a killer player. I still love the first Beautiful Creatures album. I didn't find him a good fit in Guns n' Roses. But he co-wrote some great tunes for Motley Crue on the SOLA album, and his writing and playing in Sixx AM is superb. He's one of the players that have turned me on to digital modellers, such great tones in the studio and live.Always really dug that dude's playing, especially in Beautiful Creatures. Some of that kind of style would definitely be on my wishlist as well.
And yeah, i'm a big Invader Zim fan.

Just to add something a little more unique to the list, I'll say Jani Liimatainen. I just really dig what that guy can do.

I'm competent enough at guitar that I can get what I want out of it, but dammit, I want that level of coordination while playing keys where both my hands can be doing something completely different and still keep rhythm. Plus the guy's knowledge of theory, at least where it came to piano, had to have been through the roof, AND to top it all off, he was damn charismatic while he did it.
