I'll repeat the advice others have given... record guitar and vox separately. It takes a bit of getting used to but the payoff is significant. I silently mouth sing when I record the guitar tracks so I don't lose the dynamics of the performance. Once I have the guitar track down, I'll record vox.

Laying down scratch tracks can also be helpful. If you don't know what they are, scratch tracks are recorded tracks you have no intention of keeping. They're laid down as place keepers with which you can play or sing along.

If you work at it a bit, you'll come up with a system that works for you. It'll take some time but as I said, it will pay off in the end.
