If this  https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/audio-interfaces/komplete-audio-6/ is the interface

There is a knob to the left of the headphone jacks to mix the direct signal from the guitar with the host signal from the DAW.  

Alternately, with the knob set all the way to host,  enable input echo (the button to the right of the track record button) on the track(s) being recorded for the DAW to send these tracks with the playback tracks. This will have a delay because of the round trip the guitar signal has to make from the interface input, through the DAW and back to the interface output. The amount of delay depends on the driver buffer settings and plug-ins used in the project.
