You're probably going to need some equipment before you do that, especially if you want to record voice as well as guitar. It's possible to plug a guitar directly into your soundcard (you'll need an adapter to convert the 1/4 in guitar plug to the right size).

But if you want good results you'll need a good sound card, a mixer, some recording software (such as Cubase or SoundForge but there are some cheaper ones out there as well) and microphones for voice and/or acoustic guitar (unless your acoustic has a built-in pickup).

does your computer have a built in condenser mic or a micro phone jack ?

Thanks Stephen and 6 String. Now I have a good idea what is needed. You can see I am not a computer wiz.

Try to get the audacity program listed earlier, as soon as you get a mike...

Thanks, Jean. I will do that.
