What is the cheapest I can get this in the UK? It dosen't have to be great quality just the absaloute CHEAPEST!!!!!
Thankyou (:

Answer
go to a pawn shop, because you'll find guitars that are really good, but people couldn't afford to keep them. they are also really cheap there, and you'll be happier than if you buy a cheaply made knock off somewhere. look at the whole guitar, check that the neck isn't broken, strum it a little, make sure it sounds decent. if the neck isn't straight don't get it. you'll probably need to get it re-strung at your local music store. i would recommend elixer strings, they are like 13$ US, i dunno how much they would be in the UK. have fun! guitars are the best

What is the cheapest way to record these instruments to have ok quality?

elmarroafa

i record my friends, one plays the accordion he sings, another an acoustic guitar with a little amp, the other an upright bass, and i just put my MacBook and record them with the built in mic and the quality is not great , no real bass, kinda distorted (background noise since its a built in mic)
so i was wondering what was the best way to record them a little better ??? with bass and everything clean sound???
i heard there is like this little mixer that has like a 3 or 4 inputs ???is that possible and is it even possible to connect all instruements to the MacBook and then record them using some kinda program for the MAC ? ? ?

THanks in Advance!

Answer
On the home demo making process (including mixers), see:

And, do you use Apple GarageBand?

That should do the job. Even professional musicians have used it to cut home demos.

i don't have any experience playing the guitar but i'd love to learn, what kind would you suggest? i don't want anything too expensive but if there is any specific type.. acoustic, none of that electric stuff

Answer
You're a beginner, so I wouldn't get anything too expensive.
Argos sells some pretty good guitars for beginners at a cheap price. If you're looking for a particular brand, I'd go for acoustic solutions, as they're cheap and they have good quality guitars for beginners. =]

Once you become better, more confident and more serious with your guitar playing, you can upgrade to better brands such as Ibanez and Yamaha, for acoustics.

At the end of the day, it really depends on which guitars you feel comfortable playing. Go to a music shop and try out a few. See which ones you feel comfortable holding and playing, what shape they are, how big they are, etc and go from there. Guitars in music shops are generally more expensive, so if you dont want to buy a guitar from there because of price, you could still try out a few and buy something similar to what you feel comfortable playing.

I want to start learning guitar ...?

Jasmin

I'm 12 and I'm wondering if I'm too old to start learning an instrument.

Also, the only guitar we have is a cheap acoustic one from argos :/

Is it worth me trying or should I leave it?

Answer
TOO OLD??? Yeah dude you're getting pretty ripe there at 12 years old.. better start planning for retirement. Are you F'ing kidding me? No you're not too old, I was 14 when I started gtr, of course I played the violin from 4-12, so... but you can still do it. Get a decent full size acoustic though, you can find em for under 100 bucks, and learn on that. I recommend ebay or musiciansfriend . local music stores have huge markups.
