New learner chick ~_*

  Hi everyone, I'm Louise and I bought my first guitar. It's a very basic one that I thought I should get whilst I'm just a beginner. If and when I do improve, I shall get a nicer one. Today, is the 2nd day of self-teaching. I'm reading on websites and plan to buy some learner books. My left fingers are hurting but I feel that the worst is yet to come! Can anyone let me know if using nylon strings sounds different to steel strings? The guitar I bought had three steel strings at the top and three nylon strings on the bottom and when I follow DVD tuition, it sounds different to mine. My guitar is fully tuned before I practice. I'm really hoping to improve, albiet slowly. I know it's gonna take a lot of time and patience and practic, but this is something that I've always wanted to learn and I'm determined to do it.
