Re: i got a few questions
well i just use my microphone to record my acoustic guitar, but my mate plays his electric guitar thru his.
He uses his normal cable that plugs into his guitar then into an adaptor to step down the size to go into the microphone socket in the computer.

Go out to Radio Shack or some store like that and get a 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch adapter.
This adapter makes it so the 1/4 inch patch cord you use to plug your guitar into amp fit in your 1/8 inch microphone jack in your computer.
You might have problems with hearing your guitar on the playback. If so, go into your audio controls and turn up the "line in" volume.
