you could record the guitar and vocals on seperate tracks on your computer. it would sound much better, because its easier obviously to play/sing one thing at a time rather than both at once. also, using two mics simultaneously would mean that the guitar mic would also pick up a small bit of vocals as well, and the vocals would pick up a bit of guitar, which would probably make a chorusy effect. Afterwards you can re-record each part seperately if you messed up the vocals or vice versa. i'm not sure what software you're using. I used to use Cubase for this kinda thing. you've just gotta watch how much disk space it all takes up!!

i think that its best to record them seperatly, unless youve got some studio time, cause then you can pretty much do everything.
but at home, yeah, one at a time.
also, as for software, there is a free music mixing and recording program called Audacity, just google it, itll show up.
