If only I would’ve understood how great GarageBand was, and how handy it would’ve been for playing guitar, making backing tracks, creating solos, rhythm sections, or even making ring-tones (my guide on this). Click on Get > Install and make sure you have at least 3GB available so you can install the software and some of the sounds. Type in “Garageband,” in the search bar and it should be the first option. To download Garageband on your Mac, go into the App Store from either your Dock or the Launchpad. The process for downloading Garageband is pretty simple here’s how to do it: But looking back on that moment now, that mistake is something I really regret. I just went back to playing guitar through my amplifier, recorded on my Zoom H2 like usual. I didn’t care enough to actually figure out how to get my hands on the program.

I couldn’t find it anywhere, because I didn’t realize you actually had to go find it in the App Store. After searching around on my laptop, I thought that the computer came with Garageband installed. When I first got a MacBook back in 2010, I was 18-years-old at the time, and all I cared about really was playing the guitar.
