Sorry for anything facetious , I too am a guitar player (although I have been playing keys for years too), so I understand what you're saying. Recording some basic guitar audio tracks in cubase is a fairly straightforward thing, once you have all the audio options set up. But trust me, in Arrangement mode in Live it's pretty much just the same thing.
The Session view is what is different and it's all good too, it's a great place for auditioning clips on the fly and recording into it can set your playing into handy 1,2,4,8 bar loops (if you want this) etc. Acid doesn't have a session view, although it has abunch of preset clips like Live, you have to manipulate them on a standard timeline like in CUbase or Arrangement view in Live.
For everyday guitar tracking, Live may not be your best tool, although it could be if you want to cut up samples, add all manner of weird effects on the fly and remixing stuff. And for it's MIDI features, racks (in Live 6 only), Impulse drum machine etc. But you can sync it to Cubase using rewire anyway.
