Am I too old to start... gymnastics as a male? (Read more for what I mean)?

-I've been wanting to learn to do back hand springs, flips, being more flexible, stuff of that nature. I'm not looking to go competitive, just some that I may enjoy and have fun staying in shape. I'm 18 years old. If I'm not too old, what exactly should I do to learn? Should I go somewhere for gymnastics?

When is the acceptable age for a child to learn to play the piano?

-My friend has a 3-year-old daughter.The daughter is interested in music.So I am wondering if my friend can start piano lessons for her daughter now or whether she needs to wait.I would appreciate it if you can answer me based on your personal experience.I never learned how and I feel it would have been a lot easier to start at a young age because you can learn ahead of time if it's what you really want to do. If the daughter wants to, that's great, it's great to have a passion at such a young age!
Singing along with Barney does not translate into "gifted pianist". Let the poor kid be a kid and enjoy life for a while.

How to become a talent agent?

Best kind of acoustic guitar to buy?

-i really want to buy an acoustic guitar. ive never played, i don't know how to. so what would be a good guitar for beginners? i want something that isn't toooo expensive, and something just to learn and get the hang of on. im probably gonna teach myself, i don't know yet. thanks!I was just like you a couple of weeks ago! I had always wanted to play guitar! I have now got my first guitar and am teaching myself at the moment... I may get lessons later on ... i don't know .. Anyway, many people laugh when I say this, but Ebay is a great place to look for guitars if you just want one to start of with! You can buy second hand or new and they are some really nice guitars! I got a second hand (a year old and in perfect condition - not a single scratch on it!!) 拢250 Aria guitar for 拢55 on Ebay. Also included in that price it came with a electric tuner, Teach yourself beginners book, a case and a spare set of strings. It really is a smashing guitar! I didn't want to pay above 拢100 as I was just starting out and wanted to make sure it was definitely right for me. I was really surprised at what I got for the money I spent!



People ALWAYS laugh when I say I got my guitar off Ebay but it is really the best place to go if you are looking for good quality cheap guitars to start off with. I absolutely loved the Taylor Guitars from the beginning but they are like 拢900 so I am going to stick with this one and save up for one in the meantime.



But trust me, you will be surprised what you find on ebay. Even if you just take a look, it'll be worth it.

How would I put a strap on my guitar?

-My acoustic has a nob thing at the bottom of the body but nowhere else. My brothers electric has another nob thing though. What could I do to put on a strap?theres different straps for electric and acoustic guitars.



go to a music shop and ask for an acoustic guitar strap. electric guitars have strap nobs. acoustic ones have a nob on the back but not the front. an acoustic strap has kind of like a string loop and it goes around the tuner nob.You have three choices. You can get a strip of leather or nylon lace and attach the strap to that and then wind it around the headstock under the strings. You can buy an inexpensive guitar strap button like this one:

...which does what the lace does but looks nicer.



Finally, you can take your guitar to a tech and get a new strap button installed on the treble side of the heel of the neck.
electric guitars will most alway have two strap buttons (the pegs you hook the strap too), some acoustics do as well but in your case. you must put one strap on the bottom button and if the other end of your strap isnt just a sring like material you can tie a shoelace or some string and connect it to the headstock of your acoustic
You have to have a strap with a little sting on the end. But I only have my electric strap and I just use like a 6 inch piece of shoelace or strong string and loop it through the strap hole. You have to tie it underneath the strings on the headstock right by the nut
One end goes on the nob at the bottom and the other end ties around the neck of your guitar. ; )

What Guitar Should I Get?

-I'm a beginner and I was just wondering when I get good enough to get an electric guitar what kind should I get. I don't want something over around $500. I do want something with quality though. If there aren't any like that it's fine. Just some recommendations of brands or models would be nice.

Thanks,

P.S. This wouldn't be my only guitar, just one that I could learn on.a nice fender would be good or something acoustic, if you are getting an acoustic, get an epiphone. A fender strat is perfect for beginners and you can ask someone at the guitar store what amp would be cheap and appropriatehttp://www.guitarcenter.com/Schecter-Gui鈥?/a>
