Hi Lisa  Best thing to do is find a friend who is used to changing guitar strings
to show you how to do it .. can be a bit of a handful for the first time...also
mind your eyes..As for kinds of strings again get someone who knows your
type of guitar and advise...you will soon pick it all up....

        Good luck and have fun ...its worth it....Mark
