Garage Band Artist Lessons
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009I bought the new iLife when it came out, mainly so that I could try out the new GarageBand. Sure, it has some other cool features, such as the auto face recognition in iPhoto, but I don’t take that many pictures, so I haven’t played with it much. Anyways, one of the things in the new GarageBand that I was excited about was the Artist Lessons you can purchase for $5 each. The Artist Lesson is where a well-known artist teaches you to play one of their songs on piano or guitar. (There are also basic lessons for piano and guitar that are free with the new GarageBand, but I haven’t looked at those yet.) I picked the Norah Jones “Thinking About You” advanced piano lesson. Here’s what it looks like:
As you can kind of see, Norah walks you through each part of the song, playing and explaining the basic chords. The verse is cut into three different pieces, each with 3 or 4 different chords. The next section goes through the chorus, and the last few sections talk (briefly) about soloing and embellishment.
