Well at first I thought (reading your question) you already made backing music with your own guitar or something.. but from what you just said, it seems like you havn't made any music :S

Making music (if your new too it) isn't just.. "easy" and especially if your thinking of using a program to do it all, then you need to atleast have some experience.

Well have a go, there isn't any harm in that i'm not here to nag at you just to throw you some advice.

Fruit Loops 5 - this is a good (though quite complex) program, which will aid you in making ANYTHING, yes.. anything.. - download mods for it, for more drum sounds and more synths etc etc, i've even got a piano mod for it, you can make all sounds on it whatever you want, and compile it into a long nice piece of music.

Cubase SX3 - this is a brilliant program (industry standard as well) for recording music, - get a mike and whip out your guitar and record your music, you can set equalizers and do all that what not to make it sound better and ofcourse export it as a .mp3

Those are the 2 programs I use to fool around with music - be patient though, you won't be able to just easily learn how to use them, theres still quite a lot I don't know about them, plus if you want to get deep into it you need a very strong understanding of music and the technology behind what makes a good song.

Anyways.. good luck =D

Oh this is what I like to do, - make the backing on Fruity Loops (drums and synths) - then I export it as a .mp3 and inport into cubase - and then I record guitar on cubase on top of the backing and then record vocals on top of that.. and do all the editing on it all and vwala

have fun =]
