Anybody knows where I can find MIDI files of standards just to practice changes/soloing. I know it will sound "corny" as hell , but I'm ready to suffer.
I already have all the fakes/real/ etc. of the world.....
Any link appreciated .

Whereas a Midi will have none of that expression and feeling!

To say it's a pretty good software for practicing.  Quote:

You choose the tempo, number of choruses, etc. and you play it well before rehearse with the band. That's the advantage of it!!

But the disadvantage is that you are not playing with people - when you want to be practicing to play with people...

| | Registered User | | | | | I know that MIDI is square but it's just a way to learn changes.
I already have plenty of music softwares ( DP5.12 ,Mach5 , Sibelius,etc... )
I just want to find MIDI files. There are millions of pop songs , but haven't found any standard......
So anybody knows where I can find those?
