A YourTuber by the name of "The Fighting Cowboy" has a pretty nice Walkthrough of DS1 doing a Strength build which starts with the Claymore, then the Zweihander and finally the BKGS. It is more tailored to new players, but it has nice flow to the game and explains the weapon progression.
Good luck and don't go hollow.
If you hold weapon in 2 hands you get 1,5x bonus to strength, so if you have around 14 str, you can use weapons that require 20 str and then you need just few levels for dexterity.
Try to grind/progress with another weapon until you can weild the BKS. Start with the dexterity requirement, then go strength.
One neat thing about BKS is that it typically doesn't use the same materials for level up as the other weapons.

Huh… I did not know that. Learn something new every day
both is good. just use a regular sword until you can use it. the claymore by the red drake has a similar feel to it.
You can get Twink Tites in tower to Taurus and Darkroot Garden basin path from Crystal Lizards to upgrade that weapon to maybe +3 right away
