How do I record, say the sound of a guitar, into my computer/cd?

If you have a guitar amp that has a line out, you can just hook it up to the line in of your sound card and then use any sound recorder program, even the one micrsoft bundles with windows.
 
If you don't have these facilities or you are using an acoustic guitar, then you'll have to buy yourself a mike and then do what was mentioned above.
