Hi Keith !

What you probably can do is to get a cheap condenser mic that has a power supply and plug that into the line input. Then you can record both the mic and the plugged in les paul and only the les paul would be running through the FX.
I've got a Yoga EM-8 stereo mic, that has a battery power supply. I haven't used it in a while and never the way I suggest here, but I think it will work. I'll try it when I get home. You won't get the guitar and mic separeted tho, they will end up on the same track(s).

I did a quick test. The yoga mic did not give enough output to give a good signal to the line input, but it did work. You might find a better mic (with "preamp") that can give you the desired function. If your guitar teacher has a mixer you may be able to use the line out from the mixer an into the line input on the BR80 and still use the guitar input for your electric guitar.
