Help please! 
if it is an electric guitar you will need a 3.5mm to 1/4″ Stereo adapter, a 3.5mm cable and a soundcard that can take a line in input. plug the 3.5mm jack into the line in on your computer and connect the other end into the adapter. connect the other side of the adapter to your guitar and download audacity. you can listen and record to your music there. you can edit echo and pitch there. you can also download a wave/mp3 to mid converter and a midi composer to edit your notes there but it wont then sound like you were playing it, just like a guitar is playing
I just started to record as well and i needed a few things.
First, i bought a music program that will allow for editing/recording of music. It’s called Sony Acid Music Studio and i bought it for around.. 40 bucks at Best Buy.
Next, to get your guitar inputed into your computer, you have to buy a preamp, which is essential a place to plug the guitar in and then it will transfer into a USB cable. I bought the M-Audio fast Track Pro for 200 bucks (pricey, yes but good quality) also at Best Buy.
There are tons of preamps and guitar recording software you just have to look around for your price range.
