Mark "Slick" Aguilar (born 1954 in Florida) is an American guitarist. He has worked with a number of notable musicians but is probably best known as a member of Jefferson Starship. His son Mark Aguilar is an upcoming rapper from New Jersey.
He played guitar with KC & the Sunshine Band and Wayne Cochran during the late 1970s before moving to the West Coast. It was there that he joined Buddy Miles' band and in 1982 he toured with David Crosby. In 1984 Slick joined Marty Balin's band which led to him being hired to play lead guitar in the KBC Band.
When Paul Kantner reformed Jefferson Starship in 1992 he hired Slick to as the band's lead guitarist, a position he held until 2012, when he had to depart the band due to falling ill with Hepatitis C.[1][2] He also sometimes performs with Marty Balin as a duo.
