To me, the guitarist represented Izo's emotional side. Izo couldn't seem to express how he truly felt by himself, and the guitarist was the part of his soul that played out his feelings into his songs, sort of like he was playing a soundtrack to Izo's life. (Or afterlife, whatever.) Then again, there weren't any subtitles for his songs, unfortunately, so I don't even know what the hell he's singing about, so I can only go by what I saw.
At first, I thought the guitarist was really annoying, but as I watched the movie, I began to feel that the kind of music he was playing actually fit this movie pretty well. Obviously, the screams, and gags, and wheezes, and chokes, and everything else he was doing was supposed to represent pain and suffering, as if the songs were being sung by someone who he himself was dying, and pain and suffering is what this movie's mostly about, so I think it goes with the movie.
