Hi, Thanks for the reply. I hate to admit, but I don't know what
a midi file is ??? I just use a Digitech JamMan looper and
transfer it to the pc. Yes, I have probably 300+/- more tunes
recorded in wav files. I use Mp3 files to send them. That's the
extent of my capacity. ....Al

BTW, the looper is the original monophonic version. I have
always preferred mono in a generalized statement...al

Midi files are computer files designed to simulate various
instruments.
With the appropriate/free midi player you can turn various trax
on/off so you can play along.
You can listen to various (including Ventures) midi files here:

Thanks! OK, i am familiar with the midi's. I guess I've always
considered them to be to plastic or fake sounding. Please don't
think I'm trying to be arrogant...I just play each instrument
the way my mind hears it at the moment and not the way a
"sterile" reproduction does. I think of midi as "Lego" music.
It's great for practicing and getting the feel of a tune, etc.
I like hearing people play with their own style, cadence and
feel as long as the basic genre isn't obliterated.
Please tell me your thoughts so i can learn!

I agree with you....they are "fake".
What I think is USEFUL (if it's a good midi file) is you turn
off all the parts except the drums.
You play all the other parts.
Here's an example of a good one:
HTML http://www.garyrog.50megs.com/mp3/perfidia.mp3
HTML http://www.garyrog.50megs.com/mp3/perfidia.mp3
If you download a good/free player like this one:
HTML http://wstagner.com/band/midi/
HTML http://wstagner.com/band/midi/
you can turn off any tracks you like and play along. You can
also change the tempo w/o changing the pitch or change the pitch
too.
Some midi fils are better than others.

Your site looks great. The header reminds me much of the style
of Crackle with its slide format.
