#1 -- Either "on" or "at" but not "in."
#5 -- Stop the sentence after the first instance of "CD."
#3 and #4 mean that the speaker is asking someone else to play a musical instrument (a guitar, in #4, but any musical instrument in #3). #5 means the speaker is asking for music from a CD in a car or sound system in a house.
