How do I record audio on Yamaha silent guitars?

[Belerian]

Hi, I've been searching how to send the audio output directly into my computer but I haven't found anything. Does anyone with any experience with Yamaha silent guitars (in my case, SLG200s) know how to do this?
Edit: Apparently all I need to a 3.5 male to male cable?

You need an interface of some sort, and there are many. In my case, a Behringer UCA-200 came with one of my mixers. So I plug my guitar into the mixer, then the output of my mixer to the UCA which in turn goes to the USB port of the computer. If you already have a mixer, the UCA currently goes for about thirty dollars. If not, many new mixers are USB ready.

Really? That sucks. Thought all I had to buy was a cable

To start with
Cheapest interface = iRig, it's close to just a cable!

PC = iRig + Download free Audacity software
Mac = iRig + Free Garageband
Make sure it fits your computer input
Of course you can eventually build a complete top notch studio

You need a very sensitive mic.

You should be able to plug a male to male cord into your sound card input and record or listen to the guitar.
