While seasoned musicians will take to GarageBand like the proverbial duck to water, what about the rest of us? People who can’t play an instrument might be left thinking the app isn’t for them, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Apple has created something called Smart Instruments that allow anybody to play like a pro, even if they have no musical knowledge whatsoever. GarageBand for iPad ($4.99) includes Smart Instruments for guitars, strings, keyboards, bass, and drum--everything you need to make beautiful music.
1. Choose Your InstrumentGarageBand opens in Instruments view; swipe left or right to select the instrument you want to try first. Choose Smart Guitar and you’ll be given an acoustic guitar with some strings to strum. Tap the chord name (such as C or Em) to hear the whole chord strummed on a guitar. You can also strum your finger up and down the individual strings to create a finger-picking effect. There you go--you’re playing guitar!
