Ibanez Ep9 Euphoria?

I've been looking around for a new acoustic guitar, and I came across the Ibanez ep9. I like that all the Steve Vai guitars are so comfortable, and it looks great, and its probably the only acoustic guitar I've seen with 24 frets, but it was really quiet. I know that thats a result of having such low and comfortable action. Would it be worth it to you to get it? Its $800 there. Has anyone else here played one?

How Do You Play Grindcore?

I got asked to be in a grindcore band at school, and I don't really know much about the genre. What kind of guitar playing is in grindcore?

Lesson Request

I think I read that Gabriel likes Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and The Mars Volta and At the Drive-In. I've been listening to the songs from the album thats about to come out from the Mars Volta and its so crazy awesome it gives me voodoo seizures all over the place. Just listen to this:

Like latin punk jazz metal.

Anyway, I'm just throwing it out there that a Rodriguez style lesson would be pretty badass.

Banjo Lessons?

Theres probably not very many people that would consider putting banjo lessons on a guitar learning site, but I think its an acceptable request. I just got a banjo, and I honestly have no idea how to play, and I think it would be cool to see maybe a section of lessons for other guitar-like instruments like banjos or mandolins or something. Just a thought I figured I would throw out there.
