New to GarageBand this year is the ability for the application to teach you how to play guitar or keyboard. For both instruments there are nine basic lessons.

They’ve also worked with artists like John Fogerty, Colbie Caillat, Sting, Sara McLaughlin, Norah Jones, and Ben Folds to have them teach you how to play their songs. These artist lessons are available online through GarageBand for $4.99 per lesson. Think of this new GarageBand feature as the old GarageBand meets the Wii and Rock Band.
A number of new effects have been added for guitars. New for the first time are virtual rigs that model the sound musicians have made legendary over time by combining their favorite amplifiers and effects boxes.
