There's no real setting up required to use takes. By default, if you record again on the same track another "take" will be created for you. You can even record while looping over a time selection and as many takes will be created as you like. When you stop recording you have the option to save a single file containing all the takes.
Make sure "Options: Show all takes in lanes (when room)" is on. You may need to increase the height of the track to see them.
The problem then becomes managing these multiple takes, "comping" a bit from here, a bit from there, until you have a composite part without duff notes (or whatever), that sounds like a single great performance.
You may end up with one take that's perfect (or good enough) and then it's just a matter of hiding the others - you'd typically select it and "crop to active take"
Alternatively, record a single take on a track, save it, but drag it out of the way and go again. Some people keep a muted "folder" to drag these bits to.
This way you end up with multiple files. You can create a composite by splitting & joining these. The process is a little slower. But some find it suits them.
It's whatever works best for you. The very best way of course, is to practice a lot, and get it on the first take.
