Would love recommendations! I've found a couple that are geared toward classical music but would love to find others that may include some pop/rock/alt songs as well.
thanks!

Public Domain usually requires the author to be deceased over 70 years. There's hardly any pop / rock written before 1949
We are the KVR collective. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

While not technically public domain, you can also find a lot of free (or very cheap) royalty-free midi files for more recent genres. I've found it harder to find free royalty-free guitar midi though iirc Cymatics had some.
For public domain music, the people providing midi usually claim copyright over the midi. Whether that's enforceable or not is questionable though, since a mechanical transcription of public domain material would not be copyrightable from what I've read, unless it added sufficiently original/creative elements....

I'd like to look at some neo-soul/Gospel progressions.
