My list of best guitarists is mostly the usual suspects: Hendrix, Clapton, Van Halen, Hammett, etc...

Here's a little thought I have also:
While I dunno if Mark belongs in that group...yet, I definately think his talent goes pretty underrecognized. Unlike those other guys, the only time you really get to hear what Mark can do is at a live show since there really aren't any wild solos and Creed's music. On the other hand, his rhythm riffs are hardly simple power chords too. What sounds simple enough on the radio turns out to be some extremely complex rhythm guitar work when you look at some sheet music.

PS: Don't trust tabs you find on the Internet too much. They may sound right, but more often than not, they barely scratch the surface of the details put into the music. Especially for Mark's stuff.
