1) Sonny Landreth
2) Terry Garland
3) George Thorogood
4) Joe Perry

Originally posted by ChessPraxisthanks for the last name, you're right, its pedal steel, but that should count. Or start a different list of pedal steel players:
Sneaky Pete Kleinow
A super pedal steelist. 😉
Ken Greer for his Lunatic Fringe solo should get a mention.
Alvino Ray "The King Family" & Big Bands
Santo & Johnny (don't know which one played the steel pedal) "Sleepwalk"
Pete Drake: country
Dick McIntrye: Hawaiian

We're not chess players, we're people with all kinds of interests, from all around the world who congregate on a chess site, because chess is just another thing we're interested in...
