Logic Express - Problem With Audio Recording,pleaase Help!? Options

[Repo]

When I am recording guitar through an audio track, i have been told that i need to MUTE and SOLO the track before (record) enabling it. Obviously, i cannot hear the other (previously recorded) tracks as a guide to play to whilst i record. I can hear the metronome which is great but would much rather hear my music! Clearly i need to MUTE the track otherwise the 'orrible feedback loop ensues, and if i dont SOLO the track then surely i will be recording all the other tracks in the background? Can anyone help? Please?
