I would like to plug my electric guitar into my computer, besides my guitar and computer what other hardware would I need? Or would I just need an adapter to plug into the mic input? [img]graemlins/jammin.gif[/img]

a decent sound card.....sound blaster audigy2....if you have usb 2.0 you can pic up the external one, cuts out the noise from the computer.....and then a mic i guess or some kind of midi set up if your serious about it....if not then a mic and a decent sound card....

I wouldn't waste your time trying to plug right into the mic input. It will sound like crap. You should pick up a Line 6 "Guitar Port" www.guitarport.com
You'll have lots of fun playing with that. It's like $200 in canada. Carefull your pickups can damage your moniter.

I second the Line 6 unit.....used it a few times.
I'm also a guitar player....yes, technically, pickups could screw up your monitor, however unless you play right up against your monitor, I doubt very much that you will have problems.....and if you do, you could always spend the $600 , and get EMG active pickups
A great recording program, if you can find it, is Sonar 3. Just FYI.
