You're welcome to play with it and make improvements.
I used the default Apple MIDI soundbank and converted the drums to General MIDI so it would be as portable as possible. If you're on Mac it should play without requiring any third party vsts, otherwise just pick a vst.

The point of this is to show how basic motifs can form a larger whole, it's a pretty good representation of the song arrangement so you can see how everything is put together. It's not meant to be an exact replica of the studio recording performance with all its timing nuances and groove relationships between the instrument voices.

Why not 1/256ths? You'll find that once you start fixating on the performance instead of the arrangement then these reaper projects cease to be a useful learning abstraction. In most song sections 1/8th notes was the appropriate resolution for capturing the motif, however I also used 1/16th notes when it was appropriate.

If you don't think the songs are good then it doesn't make much sense to spend your time analyzing them. Find songs you like
