Modern marquee-name country artists? Brad Paisley is probably the only newer one that could get close. He's a monster player in his own right. I guarantee he studied the likes of Steve's playing when he was learning. Then there's Vince Gill, who also has that bluegrass speed. However, there are numerous amazing session players in Nashville right now that could hang with Steve. You'll never know most of their names, but their stamps are on many records. Two of the more known ones are Brent Mason and Johnny Hiland.
