I am relatively new the the electronics world. I am reading books on it and trying to find how-to classes. I figured for my first project I would try to build an A/B switch. The problem is, I am really confused as to what type of wire I should use and what type of resistors.

The project is really simple and is shown here:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know it shows the spects on the resisters, but I really have no clue as to what I would look for if I were to order them. There are numerous types and links (ie: carbon). Just at a loss, please help. I contacted the guy and he was a pain about it. (How is a newbie ever suppose to get a start?)

Thanks in advance - Joe
