Balanced Mix?

Hey, question for Nate:

When I record guitar alone it sounds excellent. When I record it with other tracks (say the other tracks for "Worth") it sounds good in the headphones but when I play it in a stereo the guitar always seems buried in the mix. None of the definition comes through for rhythm guitar, and lead guitar always gets lost so badly it's almost inaudible. This especially happens when there are drums in the mix. What's the deal? You went to school for this stuff, give me some advice, the mix sounds great in my headphones, why does it suck through a normal stereo?

I can give you more details if you need them I just don't know what's relevant so I'm leaving a lot unsaid.
