I have a lap steel and a Squire Start that is set up for slide.
like blaze said, blues howler, google audacity and download it. i used that to record my contribution to old guys "new one to play with" thread. an easy free program thats pretty cool to muck around with. i didnt know what i was doing but mucked around with the program for a bit and got the hang of it. as for usb audio/midi type interfaces, good idea, and worth the money, but if youre on a budget, buy a decent microphone to plug into your computer, unless yours has a built in one, like mine, then its easy peasy :
