HI Bernard.

It sounds as if you have fallen foul of the old zero or one based patch name thing.
Unfortunately some manufacturers like Yamaha number their patches from 1 -128.
Whereas, the standard midi spec is from 0-127.
Standard midi Jazz guitar is patch 27, and patch 28 is clean electric guitar.

So make sure that you choose the appropriate patch list by selecting GM or Yamaha etc in the midi audio drivers / setup page (synthesizer / sound card top right)

You can check what you are actually sending in options /preferences / patch map.
What synth are you using is it coyote wave table or is it an external midi module?
If external, you may need a pat file to suit and the load you midi vices from pat file when choosing you midi voice
Hope this helps.
Mike
