Help with home video recording acoustic guitar.

Hi, someone please help.

I am relatively new to all of this recording lark and I am having a few problems that I desperately need help with.

I have recently spent around £800 on some equipment so that I can video record myself playing classical guitar and then upload to youtube.
Here is my equipment in a nutshell:

AKG C2000b condenser mic,

Alto zephyr ZM 52 mixer

Next Full HD 1080p camcorder

I then connect this directly into the "mic in" socket on my camcorder.

The problem is that the sound quality is far from what I was expecting.
It picks up quite a lot of static and also picks up some "tapping" sounds that even I cant hear when I'm not recording.
I dont know if this is because I am recording the sound directly onto the camcorder, but if I was to record the sound separate from video then how would I perfectly sync the two up afterwards? and what software would I use.

As you can tell, I am in need of some help and would appreciate any suggestions.

Many thanks
 
You could use a Mic (Mic-Interface-Pc) to record the guitar, then you match the final music with the video you'll be recording separatelly, and you'll have some great sound along with the video, that can work.
