Default Question on inputs and recording drums

I have recently gotten a band to record however i only have 4 inputs. That is perfectly fine for me and their drums but how am i going to send the guitar through for the drummer to play along to? I have a Lexicon Omega and cubase le4, not that it matters. When i have practiced recording i use the output on my amo head even though it is wayyy over what the headphones can handle. i just keep it turned down quite a bit. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

In that situation, if the band is using a click I'd simply record the scratch guitars first.

If they aren't using a click, you'll have to run the output of your audio interface into a mixer and combine it with the guitar.

Yeah that was the solution i thought about. I actually ended up just recording the drums solo without any guitar playback. The drummer insisted on it and he said he knew it by memory. He did a decent job but i had to fix a bit. He didnt hold certain bars long enough.
