Set up a talkback mic so you can hear the guitarist between takes. Get some in-ear monitors, and send yourself a cue mix for in the control room. Send the talkback mic into a compressor and compress it so you can hear anyone in the room when the tape/daw is stopped, then send this into a gate, duck it keyed to a smpte feed from your Tape/Daw. When you are playing/recording, the smpte feed with shut off the "auto talkback mic", and open when you aren't playing.
Only prob I see is if your are listening back, and the guitarist want to talk to your over the music, in which case you could bypass the gate, but you'll pick up the music being played through the monitors at 100db into your talkback mic. But shouting over 100db's is kinda silly anyway.
Okay, did that make any gotdamn sense?
Those bass shaker joints also help some people that need to "Feel" the music. Set two up on a drummer's throne with the kick's being sent to them the loudest and he/she will love you for life.
