To understand the power of MIDI files, we first need to dispel a common misconception. A MIDI file is not audio. You cannot "hear" a MIDI file on its own. Instead, a MIDI file is a set of instructions—digital sheet music—that tells a software instrument (a Virtual Instrument or VST) what to play. Use that data to trigger a lush acoustic guitar chord pad

Never trigger a strum by playing all notes at the exact same millisecond. A real strum takes about 50-100ms for the pick to travel across the strings. Stretch your MIDI notes so they start sequentially. Many guitar VSTs (like RealGuitar) do this automatically if you play a chord.
