I have heard that there is a pedal for that. im not sure what its called but it does is record you playing the backing track. (play it before you play the song with your band it dosen't matter if its turned down) And press another pedal and it will play it and you are free to rock out.

I'm going to answer this with the assumption you are relatively new to both of these musical efforts. Below are tips which helped me to become more comfortable with this combination as a new skill.

First tip is to select music with lyrics and vocal timing you most likely already know by heart. This will allow you to focus mostly on learning the guitar accompaniment. When starting, you should try to avoid songs having magnificent, flowery runs and other diva-esque vocal acrobatics (i.e. avoid Mariah and Celine songs) -- instead, pick songs which follow a simple and predictable chant or rhythm. As an example, several "campfire" or folk-type songs follow very simple vocal patterns (Yankee Doodle Dandy, Camptown Races, When The Saints Go Marching In, etc.)

Second tip is to select simple guitar music, which may include selecting songs having straight 4/4 timing and no solo guitar picking. The idea of 'simple' should be whatever is most simple for you and your skill level -- you may be capable of more intense guitar work if someone else covers the singing, but here we are trying to keep it simple since it is the first time you're combining the two by yourself.

Third tip gets a little more involved: You will have to know your skill level on the guitar neck, i.e. what range of chords you can easily finger and which you can comfortably change between. The easiest music option is to have no chord changes, or only easily repeated changes between two chords; you'd be surprised how many well-known songs can fit this! One example which I suggest is easy to chant, easy to strum, and uses simple chord changes is the popular party song "Shout" (Isley Brothers, 1959) -- this song can be almost completely played by two simple chords, C and Am.

If you cannot find songs you know by heart which also have simple chords (i.e. tips 1-3), then you may have to transpose your preferred songs into a more simple key to allow yourself to use the more simple chord changes. In my opinion, songs in the keys of A or D allow very simple and common guitar chord changes if they were written to use the popular I-IV-V chord combinations. Both of these keys allow you to avoid F-chord formations (a difficult chord form for most newbie Guitarists). The first, fourth, and fifth chords in these keys are simple chords for new guitarists and would be:

Key of A: chord I = "A", chord IV = "D", chord V = "E"

Key of D: chord I = "D", chord IV = "G", chord V = "A"

Much well-known and fun music relies on combinations of the I, IV, and V chords. If you want to learn about this, it gets into more Music Theory than we have time for here. Just start by relying on songs which allow you to follow tips 1-3 and in time I am sure your confidence and musical understanding will grow enough to allow you to explore more exotic combinations.

Enjoy!

You can't. The only way you can do that is if you invent something that is a guitar and drum put together and allows them to at least sound.............. good.

A good way is to practice singing the song until you know it well, then practice playing the song. When you can play it well, work on singing and playing together.

How do you play guitar and drums at the same time on band hero?

The guitar and drums need to be played by two separate players. Even if a single player wants to play the guitar and drums simultaneously (which I do not recommend at all), they need to be set up as if played by two separate people.
