I can extract the chords and some harmony but i dont know how to make the

statistical analysis and the synthesis for the selection of the notes.

I want to program a circuit which will accompany to music with bass guitar
like indians do it with tanpura.

How can I extract the musical style of a guitarist If I have many of
his midi records ?

Probably the best place to start is the written works of David Cope. Check the bibliography on his web site-

You might want to take a look at Open Music also:

http://recherche.ircam.fr/equipes/repmus/OpenMusic/

You can then export data from open music to max/msp (as text, coll

file, midi, or SDIF or use OSC) for synthesis although you can also

access csound engine (for synthesis) from inside open music itself.

The style is never caught by Midi. Each guitarist sounds different even

With statistical methods like Markov chains you can extract something 

like basic rules. But these rules just don't transport or contain the 

music. The music is outside the rules, its impossible to catch that with 

a machine, thats what your ears are for...

If you let a machine learn to play like Bach, the result sounds like 

Bach music with one very important difference. Its boring!

Whereas Bachs originals are never boring.

If you find what's common in a style, you have extracted the 

uninteresting part of the music. But what are you going to do with that?

The style is never caught by Midi. Each guitarist sounds different even
if they play the same notes/songs...

Better trash it...

Thanks for the link, 5000 Chorals which want to compete with Bach... ;-)
