MIDI guitar usually refers to an instrument that is designed to act as 
a MIDI controller.  However, you can get kits to get a normal electric
guitar to do the same thing.  I don't know how succesful they are.

The MIDI guitar functions in the place of a synth keyboard, and may or 
may not have its own sound module.  You can use it just like any synth 
to drive all the synth modules you can afford to buy.  To use it with an
Amiga (and its sound samples) you'd best get some good sequencer software.

Cheers,
