Apple surprised everyone this morning by unveiling a new version of Garageband that, as well as adding new features, included the option for users to actually learn an instrument or song from within the application, direct from the artist who recorded it.
Garageband will be bundled with nine basic lessons for guitar and piano, but you’ll be able to hop online and download more, as well as specific tutorials from celebrities including John Fogerty, Fallout Boy and Sting.
We’re not talking dull audio or text instructions either. These are high quality HD videos of the artist talking you through the process. Incredibly cool, and an extra revenue stream for Apple.
Each lesson will cost $4.99, or around £3.50. What do you reckon? Has Apple hit the nail on the head, or do Garageband users already know how to play their instruments? Give us a shout in the comments section below.
