There's a guy called Rys Chatham. You should check him out. He is a minimalist. He does a composition called "Guitar Trio"....which is basically deconstructing an E major chord for 30 minutes. It is intense. Oh.....and Glenn Branca. He writes full symphonies for electric gtr. It's the loudest thing you've EVER heard.......
