Apple Makes Online Music Lessons Easy With GarageBand
LOS ANGELES — Colbie Caillat's 2007 hit Bubbly is so popular online that about 800,000 people have watched YouTube videos of musicians teaching how to play the song on guitar.
Only one problem: Most got it wrong.
"They do a nice job," says the singer/songwriter, but "most don't realize it's in open D tuning and has totally different chords."
Now Caillat gets to show how it's really done. She is one of nine artists offering video music lessons at $4.99 a pop via Apple's GarageBand, the music-editing software bundled into its iLife suite of programs. Among others, John Fogerty teaches Proud Mary and Norah Jones shows you how to perform Thinking About You.
