Recommended musicians performance on YouTube (From your country)

One of the few covers that was better then the original I think one of the members of nine inch nails said that once johnny cash covers your song it becomes his.

I actually wasn't aware there were different qualities of strings, so what you're saying is the lower the gauge the more beginner friendly? So I just get the lowest they have on sale right?

The lowest you should see around is 8-9 gauge, both of which are fine. I'd recommend these if you're starting out.

And turning the action down, the shopkeeper would do it for me or I could get some friend to do it :] Similarly for an amp, I have friends who have nice amps so I could always meet up (I'm gonna learn from a friend anyways) and also if I'm performing I'll use the big school amps obviously so no problem there.

School amps work well, the large tube amps will give you a great sound.

And I'm coming to see the queen (lol) this summer, would it be cheaper to buy in UK? I live in freaking dubai, cheap things(water bottles etc) are cheaper here and expensive things(guitars etc) more expensive

I doubt it, then again, I have no idea how much any of this costs in Dubai.

So one final thing, can I get a list of models to consider along with prices? Just in case I dont get ripped off

I suggest you try some online retailers. Like this one:

Guitars | Guitar Shop| Gear4music

An American singer named Jeff Buckley who covered Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'. Arguably one of the best cover songs ever.

 

[Desertfalcon]

He covers 'Hurt' better than the original artist in my opinion. I'm not even much of a country music fan and I love Johnny Cash. He transcends musical genres.

I agree! I much prefer it to the original. I am a fan of old country and western, but you are correct in that Cash always transcend being in just one genre. He was genius. 'Solitary Man' video was great, btw.

I see you're going for Yamaha, good brand, reliable and consistently good.
Although I would have thought that they're out of your price range.

The first two you listed are both:
Yamaha ERG 121

Here are some reviews on it:

ERG121 Review | Yamaha | Electric Guitars | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

It looks good to me, seems solid, the pick ups like those I've played with a good many times and with a guitar like that, only it was an Ibanez, I forgot which model. It's pretty standard in clean, but the overdrive/distortion channels on an amp are where it's good.

Take your time to also look at the amps. One of them has a yamaha amp listed, which i feel will be better than the smaller Ibanez one.

The last one doesn't have a model name I saw. Maybe contact the seller and ask. It's important.

I called and asked, as mentioned in the brackets above^
Btw the ibanez amp comes with Line 6 pocket POD, any idea what that does? google wasn't very helpful. About the price, they're definitely out of my price range but I don;t have much choice here. Now my main worry is if I'm overpaying for these yams, are they actually worth that much in terms of factory price? And the last one eg112c comes with some extra stuff listed in the desc, do you think it's worth it in monetary terms?
I checked your review, but the internet reviews EVERY SINGLE guitar positively, any no name brand or whatever I search for, every single website only has positive reviews, so I don't trust the internet about this only personal reviews will do.
