Scott...

On the other hand, if you jack your guitar directly into the Behringer in a line-in and use the mic for vocals, you could play and sing simultaneously and record them onto separate tracks with no bleed.

That sounds interesting...that might work...IDK...will see...I like the idea of playing and singing

Still one more thing you could do - Jack the guitar directly into the Behringer but don't plug in the mic. Play and sing the song. The vocals won't be recorded but you will be playing and singing at the same time. After that is done, you could go back and record a real vocal track later. This is a good technique to use if your guitar playing is actually better when you are singing along with it.

another good sugg...will keep on learning and see what works...

Would you agree that most people do it the way I have...or do they add an extra mic and try to fix it in the mix process?

All of my solutions require you to jack your guitar directly into the Behringer. The experts say you don't get as good of a sound that way

Do they really think it is better to record off of a speaker/amp...just seems like thru the system would be cleaner...IDK

Thanks Scott
