Also on the Fred Frith, Elliot Sharpe, Eugene Chadbourne side here.

All great guitarists which were important for me.

And now please forgive me for being unhumble...
I also like this tune of my own still (from a time I was very much into this kind of improvisational type):

Improphony for one out of tune electric guitar

jancivil is a much better and more interesting guitarist than many mentioned here - not only is she a good guitarist but she applies extended technique in a musical way.
Contrast with the avant-garde position which is from an historical moment where formal and/or technical innovation was (over) valued in and of itself and there was a belief that art could progress and that formal innovation was the driver of that progress.
for someone way better than I could ever be - but I did play some of his pieces in the old days
Leo Brouwer. I used to play a really mediocre version of this piece
