whoo... well, first of all, it would be helpful to know whether you have an acoustic or an electric. as the restringing process is a bit different. it would also be helpful to know what kind of bridge your guitar has, so if you could tell us what the brand and model of your guitar is, then we could help you better. if you don't know the brand/model, a picture would be nice.

but the best advice I can say has already been said, head down to your local music store (check the phone book and/or internet if you don't know where one is) and tell them that you are a beginner, you broke a string, you don't about the different brands and gauges of strings, and you don't know how to replace them. they will help you pick out a set of strings (after asking you what style of music you play, and maybe a couple other questions) and then they should show you how to put it on. if they don't or they want to charge you for it, I would leave and find a new music shop.

when I used ernie ball .009 gauge strings, they would break all the time... I moved up to .010 gauge GHS strings, they last a long time! they will all turn black and rust before they will break! also, the gibson brite wires that came stock on my SG lasted a pretty long time as well. I want to try D'Addarios for my next set, just cause I've never used them before.
