I have used the MIDI event filter in Sonar with MIDI guitar (Jam Origin), Fishman Triple play and Roland GI-20. All with mixed results. If you expect it to miraculously fix tracking issues, you will probably be disappointed. It will catch the occasional crazy notes octaves above the intended lick or misfires from fret buzz or string noise but it will not do much for an all out shred. In my experience, you have to play like it is a different instrument and be aware of the limitations and above all, play as cleanly as possible.
