Where do I start

I am an absolute amateur when it comes to midi. I am a guitarist and want to create my own backing tracks to play small venues.
I know nothing about midi and would like to learn everything so that I am able to do it all myself.
Does anyone know where I can find information that will help me from the start.

I have alreday downloaded the  CoolSoft software, where from here.

Please understand I am an absolute idiot and need to learn real fast.

Thanks
George

Thiese are, AFAIK, two of the best guides on VirtualMIDISynth installation and usage:

The following are beginners guides on MIDI:
