Jam with your hero.

[Mattmc74]

If you had the chance to jam on stage with anyone you wanted who would it be? Alive or dead, singer, drummer, bass, they don't have to be a guitar player just someone you would love to jam with.

I would want to jam with Jerry Cantrell! He has been a major influence on me from the time I picked up the guitar to now. I know he is not know to be a shredder but he is a great player and song writer

 

[Naren]

One of the guitarists from Scar Symmetry (or both).

 

[DevinShidaker]

Chuck Schuldiner or Deron Miller. OR I could form a super group consisting of myself on Guitar, Chuck and Deron on guitar and vocals, Billy Sheehan on bass, and Chris Pennie on drums.

 

[FYP666]

Michael Amott

 

[arktan]

Franz Schubert (i'm serious)

 

[-K4G-]

Adam Jones.

 

[CooleyJr]

Rusty Cooley

 

[TheAceOfSpades1]

Marty Friedman.

 

[pardon miasma]

Michael Amott

 

[Mattmc74]

All great choices so far

 

[Metal Ken]

Steve DiGiorgio

 

[Concerto412]

hard to say, i think i could come up with different answers on the hour, based on mood.
For just an all out improv jam, guitar + drums, I say Bonham would be alotta fun. the big, bashing rock attitude... like sitting in with vinnie paul on a heavy dose of old school.
Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge as backline for a mildly progmetal band would be among my top picks, maybe even toss little Meiju (from ensiferum) in for some atmosphere keys. hell yes

 

[Apex1rg7x]

Stevie Ray Vaughn

 

[King_nothing621]

Dino..or the guys from unearth.

 

[Stitch]

...the Black Dahlia Murder...but I'm singing.

I've never really thought about this, but dude jamming with Jerry Cantrell does sound fun as hell. I feel like I'd be comfortable jamming with him too, just playing some badass rock stuff and not a bunch of uber-techie shit.

I'd also like to jam with Martin Lopez, I like jamming with a good and creative drummer.

 

[FYP666]

...the Black Dahlia Murder...but I'm singing.

BDM FTWMFW!

 

[Daggorath]

Shawn Lane or Guthrie Govan. Both incredibly modest guitar players.

 

[progmetaldan]

hmmm, I reckon jamming with Liquid Tension Experiment would be awesome, Petrucci, Levin, Rudess and Portnoy...

Otherwise I'd love to jam with Planet X- Virgil Donati, Derek Sherinian, Rufus Philpot...

Even though both groups would absolutely kick my butt...

 

[YYZ2112]

An obvious one for me would be Alex Lifeson. We could compare whammy bar techniques

I think jamming with Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden would be kind of cool too.
