Rex, I like an inexpensive program (~$40 US) by Cakewalk ( a Roland 
company) called "pyro Audio Creator." It will record from you computer's 
microphone input and  is also useful for editing your recordings or 
standard audio files, as well as rippng and burning CD's :

Recording your own playing is very revealing and an essential step in 
improving your technique.

Also, though I haven't tried it, lots of people rave about "Band in a 
Box" for creating backing tracks.

Good luck,

Michelle
