Track Layers

I'm a new user trying to use track layers to comp an acoustic guitar instrumental, I record the takes OK and they all go into their different layers, I watched the video on youtube about comping the guitar solo, but he doesnt say how he is doing what he is doing! I figured out the crop tool and I think I know how to get the mute tool to work, but my problem is that each layer has a mute/solo button and only one layer will play at a time. There must be way to get rid of the mute/solo buttons or to enable all the layers to play at the same time, can anyone help please?? Thanks in advance!!

In addition to the mute/solo buttons for each track layer (note that all of those buttons can be off), you can mute/unmute individual clips by right clicking and choosing from the context menu or selecting the clip with a left-click and pressing the q key.

No doubt though, track layers can get confusing....
