Hey, I've been playing guitar since this august, I have snapped my high E string twice already, I replaced all six strings the first time but I felt I made it harder than it had to be. My first question is can I buy just a single string if I know I need a gauge 9 or do I need to spend another $8 on 6 more strings. my second question is: is there an easier way to connect the string to the tuners, I wrapped it around in some wierd way that wasn't very easy... it took me over an hour to replace the strings and after I cut off the excess I kept getting my finger tips poked by the ends of the strings. anyway if you can either describe in detail or leave a link to a website with pictures/video that would be helpful, thanks guys
