I was on a cruise last year and there was a guy using a laptop to play backing tracks and playing the guitar along with those, MC would be a great program to build those tracks i would probably not use it to play the tracks but would turn them into MP3s and play them that way, to cut down on the resources needed to play the files. using something like pyro or music match to play the files, and to organize them.
One of the things i like to do is to find Midi files on the net, of songs that i like and then running them thru softsynths to make them sound good, then i remove the tracks i might want to play live like the accoustic guitar, or lead guitar track and then save those as finished Wave or MP3 file as backing tracks.
