The guitar in particular comes in early (ahead of the beat) in some of the RealTracks. Perhaps you could be hearing an anticipated chord, followed by the instruction to hold whatever is played directly on the beat, which is nothing, so it results in a shot-like sound. Just guessing.

It could also be a correctable error in the particular RealTrack; such has been reported and fixed before.

Which RealTrack guitar(s) is this, please?
