Surprised I never thought about this before. I suppose I would want Jimi Hendrix on whatever guitar he wanted to play. I like others' suggestions below on other parts.

Jimi was one of a kind.

Mike, there's the musicians and there's the group. Bringing all the best together does not mean that you will have music worth remembering. But I would want

vocals: Rod Stewart

Guitar: Zappa (but that wouldn't work in any band of my choosing--only of his) so, Jeff Beck

Slide guitar: Dwane Allman

That's it. You provide the rhythm section.

I've been playing Top Gear in the background when I'm downstairs. "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers Band is their theme song. That is some great guitar work.
