Hey Tim,

Mystifies me too!

Check this out:

Here's a cut&paste from the website where these videos are from:

See for yourself how easily you can imitate guitar techniques by playing on a single MIDI keyboard using Rhythm'n'Chords™ Pro for Cakewalk. The chords are assigned in the plug-in. Chord changes are executed on a MIDI keyboard with the left hand while the strumming or plucking rhythm part is played with the right hand.

Cool, huh?
