So is latency the issue? Are you not getting latency with what you are doing 
now? Or perhaps you were not playing with the beat so you were unaware of it? 
I think I can guarantee you that you will always get latency from playing live 
through plugins. There may be a Logic preference about software monitoring 
that may help with that. And yes, latency will definitely screw up your playing 
- its horrible. However, if you monitor off a mixer going into Logic instead 
of the outputs of Logic, then you get 0 latency. So mute the track you are 
recording onto, and only listen to the beats or whatever and the raw mixer feed of 
your guitar and you'll have no latency and the sound you want!! Its just that 
it won't sound like you want AS you are recording, but once its recorded, you 
can hear it as you want to. You could also use my trick and spit the signal 
into a pod to get the ambience to inspire, while laying down the track.
