Nylon strings>>guitar update

Very recently, finally went to the guitar store to look at nylon
strings..They were quite fine,quite cheap and reasonable price
too..but then the guitar shop guy asked me what kind of guitar I
had..when I told him "acoustic" he told me that "nylon strings were
usually for a classical guitar" and then proceeded to take out a
classical guitar and showed me that the string is fastened in a
different manner from a classic guitar and thus those nylon strings
will not fit my acoustic guitar
Truly, so..
So, I didn't buy the nylon strings ..instead I bought some finger
attachments, typically used to strum another string instrument called
the VEENA....
BTW,,after buyin my guitar in nov 2009, for a couple of months, I
tried learning the basics..and then, in 2010, i gave up on guitar due
to life things that I let take me over completely, 2011 was another
bad year too..so finally in the past few months, finally i got calm
enough to finally take the guitar out again...and after first day of
practice, the LEFT HAND THAT FRETS ended up with hurting swollen
blobs...
A quick look at 43 things and a young girl posted tips about how to
prevent such painful blobs on fingers..she suggested NYLON STRINGS...
hmmmmmm..
Anyways...So far, things I have accomplished with the guitar?
1/I know some basics like, what are the parts of a guitar
2/became familiar with some terminology like what are chords, notes etc
3/kinda know how to read basic tablature
4/kinda know some very basic chords...
5/know that there are no set rules,, any position that is comfortable
to you personally is the way to go.
6/trying to gather up info on how to read sheet music..i already have
info collected from 2009...that I am yet to use..maybe i just first
read up all that I already have gathered so far,, I have
videos,screenshots, info,music sheets, lessons from various
websites..I even have taken the time to print them all out and arrange
them in folders..so, time to finish up the backlog of lessons before
looking up for new lessons online
7/I discovered that I PREFER FINGER STRUMMING compared to using a pick.
8/last of all, THERE ARE NO RULE..make up your own rules as you go
with the guitar
9/Also, I notice that these days, ever since 2009, each time on TV, i
see people playing that guitar or any other string instrument for that
matter, I SPONTANEOUSLY take to noticing how they place their fingers,
how they strum or how they play..THAT IS A SIGN OF A GOOD EAGER
STUDENT..IT IS A GOOD SIGN that I am doing it naturally...that shows
promise that I will improve ..:))
