I have a Guitar Pro MIDI file... What can I use in Sonar to play it?

I was sent a Guitar Pro file. I exported it to a MIDI file, want to hear it in Sonar. But, not sure what kind of Synth Sonar has that can at least somewhat simulate a guitar. Heck, I don't even care if it sounds like a guitar. Anything, something cool just not piano... 

I tried sending the midi track to Rapture but there was no audio output.  I've never used Rapture before so I don't know what I'm doing wrong there...

    Load up Dimension Pro  drop the midi in with one of the many guitar sounds and away you go.

    Cool, I actually figured out how to get it to work in Rapture. I can see where playing with Rapture could become a serious time sync.  As in having tons of fun playing around with it.
