But GarageBand has a nice interface (with either the guitar or piano) as well as REAL celebrities and people... not motion-captured artists. The bad news about GarageBand? Mac's are SO EXPENSIVE!!

So, this is the cheap version... ;)

Sweet, I was just thinking about finding online guitar lessons the other day. I also saw the Apple keynote where they showed the new Garageband tutoring feature, which looked awesome. That's why I installed MacOSx86 on my HP laptop to install garageband later on.

But for now I'll try this.

The free trial at the iperfrom site is pretty good, once you install the plug-in. The lessons are a little bit over my head for now tho... Make something for the newbs!

Even though this may give the mechanical breakdown of how to play a given chord or a riff, if you don't have a decent ear it ain't gonna make anyone a musician.
