Thanks, that's very interesting! Can anyone recommend a similar app for android?
Awesome video!
Rachel, that was great! I bought an iPad last year, primarily to store my songbooks and because it had Garage Band loaded – but I couldn't work out how to use it. The only other videos I found seemed to assume you were at Pete Waterman's level!!
Now I can finally start to use it, thanks! Looking forward to more video from you on Garage Band.
Garageband is also available for desktop and laptop computers running macOS.
I don't have any Apple devices, but perhaps it would be worth it to get an iPad and keep my Android phone and Windows pc's. Or maybe there is a similar app that runs on Android tablets and phones.
Ooh…thanks so much for this Rachel! It’s been on my iPad Pro for all these years & I hadn’t a clue what to do with it other than listen to some of the fantastic sounds available. I’m so looking forward to trying out what you’ve just shown us & being at some point in the future, quite ambitious enough to try & record tracks for a full song which I can then sing & play uke with. Loved it…thanks again! ❤
Extremely informative … thank you so much!
Thanks Rachel. I have learnt so much from you since I took up the ukulele 18 months ago. Andrew Australia
Great video Rachel, thank you! I haven’t used GarageBand since retiring 3 years ago from teaching high school classroom music , and your video reinforced everything I was familiar with using GB. Since taking up the Bass Ukulele, I have been having so much fun playing bass lines with my husband, who plays guitar. We’ve been playing along to various songs on YouTube, and I was wondering if you might do a video on how to create a backing track in GB for a whole song, either with or without the vocals? Eg. we’ve been playing along to 'Something' by George Harrison and I’m thinking about how I could create a backing track in GB with rhythm, basic chords and the vocals played on keyboard. Thanks again for your wonderful resources🙂
Great video, Rachel, thanks so much! I’d installed Garage Band on my iPad, but that’s as far as I got. 😅
Have thought about this for years, thanks for the helping hand, more please
Great video, yet again, Rachel. I'm doing some research on PC and Android alternatives to Garageband, and your information here will pertain to those easily.
❤😎💫
You saved me so much time!! Thank you
Thank you, Rachel. This was excellent. Do you even make backing tracks for particular songs? I was thinking say a simple (relatively) pop song with a bridge and a chorus.
Rachel, as always you know how to explain everything very clearly. I've looked at Garageband many times before, but thought it was kind of complicated. But this basic lesson has made me curious again how I can make backing tracks myself. Thanks for your clear explanation!
Ohhh wow glad Iv seen this I hadnt got a clue how to use this app..I would love to know how to play bass Uke along to the drum and guitar track ..Thanks Racheal
Thanks
Great video thank you as others have said it’s been sitting there for ever 🤗🎶
That was brilliant, i have garage band but never new how to use it , you are such a good teacher, thank you so much looking forward to more ukulele stuff.
Thank you so much for doing this video, Rachel. Like a lot of others, I have tinkered aimlessly with GB for ages, now I'm getting somewhere. xx
Fascinating video i really enjoyed that Rachel; never seen "Garageband" before so a real eye opener for me and even my old brain followed your lesson ❤
You are super cool…..thank you
Fantastic beginner's tutorial. Thank you so much, Rachel.
I’m a slow learner, but this is perfect for this old Canadian. ❤ thank you for all the help.
Does it have songs like backing tracks that you can play with it
Thank you so much. You make it so simple. You are a fantastic teacher.
