How much will it cost to buy new acoustic guitar strings?

I’m not looking for any special ones, I’m just learning to play guitar, but the guitar has broken strings. And as James Morrison has told us, you can’t play on broken strings.
Anyway, it’s a fairly stereotypical acoustic guitar, full size. It’s in good shape apart from the strings. What strings should I buy, and how much will these cost (bearing in mind, I don’t have a lot of money, and don’t want anything particularly amazing)

DON’T go to warlmart to get musical stuff, they do sell cheap stuff, but cheap quality. they will most likely break withen a week if you buy one from walmart.

Strings don’t cost too much. They are about 3 dollars and up per set of strings.

if its says like .10 .11 or something like that, i would get a .11 or .12 for acoustic. the string gauge is how thick the string is, and they measure it by the thinnest string, high e. so .12 would be the high e string. for electric, its easier for it to be thinner. so you could do soloing. for acoustic, you want it to be a bit thicker, it will have a nicer sound, but harder to play, so got with .12

but here is all sets of 6 strings they have at guitar center for acoustic: http://www.guitarcenter.com/6-String-Sets-Acoustic-Guitar-Strings.gc?o=1
I myself like ernie ball strings. they are great.

good luck

Guitar string vibrating. When plucked, the string vibrates at a specific frequency, which determines the pitch of the note. The vertical lines on the fretboard (centre right) of the guitar mark where fingers should be placed to shorten or lengthen the vibrating part of the string. Shortening the string produces a note with a higher pitch, lengthening it lowers the note. The vibration of the string…

For decades, Leo Kottke would inspire generations of fingerpicking acoustic guitarists (and help pave the way for New Age and contemporary instrumental music), but this 1969 album is the one that started it all. Kottke’s brilliant debut was released, fittingly, on John Fahey’s Takoma label. Showing the influence of Fahey himself (and Takoma labelmate Robbie Basho), Kottke performs impossibly diffi…

After the disorganized and often unlistenable Alan Douglas-produced reissues in the ’70s and ’80s, MCA has been releasing the vast Hendrix archives in an intelligent and methodical manner. Blues is a perfect example, making the case that–on top of everything else–Jimi Hendrix was one fine blues guitarist. Combining the fluid lines of B.B. King with the spikiness of Hubert Sumlin and the crying t…
