Intructions on How to Play You and Me on Piano Easy

Play a lesson in GarageBand on Mac

You can learn to play your guitar or keyboard by taking the guitar or piano lessons included with GarageBand. You can download additional lessons, including Artist Lessons with songs taught by the artists themselves. You choose and open lessons from the Project Chooser.

Each lesson includes the following:

• A Learn chapter, where the teacher gives instruction on how to play the song, including tuning and techniques.

• A Play chapter, where you can play the entire song without instruction or practice individual sections.

• Some lessons include a Practice chapter where you can practice specific exercises, riffs, and other techniques.

• Artist Lessons include a Story chapter with background information about the song or artist.

Some lessons include subchapters such as Simple and Advanced with alternative versions of the lesson.
