@grahamtacon hey im a beginner wanting to learn how to play a guitar, so i bought a really cheap acoustic( classical i think) guitar from a company called CrescentDirect, and watching these videos made me notice something about my guitar; my guitar has 4 wounded strings and two naked ones. googling it and watching these vids show that theres only supposed to be three wounded ones. Did i get ripped off?

@xX1PC1Xx It sounds like you've got a steel string guitar there, with a wound third string. The 4th, 5th and 6th will be wound on all types of guitar. Unless there is an unusual set of strings that I haven't seen...

This is the first "restringing" video, I can REALLY recommend.
