Recording Guitar through guitar in and one vocal through one of the line inputs.

Recording Guitar through the guitar input and one vocal track through the line inputs, is it possible?
At the same time that is.
I would be delighted if I could use the guitar input for track1 and a vocal track through the line input.
I have found that a quality gaming headset with a good mic would allow you to use the headphones as a monitor, the boom mic on the headset as a mic and the guitar input to allow a very comfortable way of playing guitar and improvising song lyrics.
Is there a way to do this?
I am new to the BR but this seems like it would be an asset to many singer songwriters.
Thank you all, and I am grateful for these forums.

unfortunately both those inputs won't work simultaneously
you can use the line input for a mixer or you can use the guitar in and the built in mic simultaneously

Thank you for your response! 8)
I know that I can use two mics through the line in to accomplish this task but micing the amp wont give the guitar/mic signal isolation that using one line in input would.

The idea was to use a minimal amount of cables and adapters .

I guess using an external guitar effect board / pedal into one side of the line in and a mic connected to the other side of the line inputs will allow discrete recordings without bleed between the tracks.

Thanks again!
