Recording Guitar Live, I hear the guitar fine, but can't record Options

[dreamstatedj]

I'm having a problem. I just recently figured out the audio problem, I was finally able to mess around with what Logic has to offer and I even figured out how to get my guitar to sound. Now the problem I am having is I'm not sure how to record my guitar onto a track live. I tried pressing record and playing the guitar, I hear it fine, but nothing comes up. What do I have to do to be able to record live?

By the way I am using a G5 with the Motu 896hd. The problem is recording it live not the audio itself, I hear all the software instruments fine and the guitar.

Thanks in advance for your response
