Yeah, I definitely need to... I’ve already gone through three of them in less than a month, haha. I really hope they have them in stock per unit—because if they don't, I’m going to have to shell out $20 all over again just to end up with five extra ones sitting around...

I can't believe I just snapped two old strings and now I’m onto a brand new first string... I try to tighten it, it pops, and it basically takes a little chunk out of me. Getting a bandage for the wound is the easy part—the real problem is I don't have any spare wire left. Is there any way to just buy a single string by itself?

Oh man, that’s awesome. So I ended up picking up those iron wires—the ones with 18 fields—and honestly? They just don't feel nearly big enough for me...

A lady at the shop actually gave me some advice—she suggested that if I was going to go with metal tuners anyway, I should grab the 10mm thickness ones because they don't dig into your fingers as much. So, naturally, I listened! I ended up picking up a set of gold $20 Fender tuners. Now, I’ve gotta swap out my old video gear too since it's getting pretty ancient... hopefully, I can finally head out and pick up something new today

So they’re metal strings, then. Got it—thanks a ton for clearing that up! I’m planning to head over and check everything out tomorrow, though I definitely need to pick up some new screws while I'm at it... if you know what I mean. Okay, so that means I won't have to stress about the notes being off. That's a huge relief. Honestly, I can't wait to actually start learning something real, haha. Right now, I've just been blasting "Back in Black" by AC/DC on repeat.
man, that's awesome

Man, how am I supposed to just drop a photo here? I need you guys to tell me what to get first—I'm looking at buying some new strings and I really don't want to screw this up.
I'd love to actually play something decent, even though I'm still such a total beginner... I'm basically just wrestling with basic notes right now, haha.
My dream is to be shredding through some solos today or tomorrow—maybe some Ozzy Osbourne tracks from his solo era if anyone out there is actually listening!

hmm... how do I even upload a picture here?

So, what’s actually the deal with the difference between a classical and an acoustic guitar? I'm asking because, well, I'm a total newbie and I managed to snap two strings while trying to tighten them up—and since the old ones were already pretty brittle, they just gave out on me. Now I'm sitting here totally lost on what I should actually buy next.
Here’s my poor, battered beginner beauty:
