## Transcript

>> Hey Clem. Clem. Clem.

>> What?

>> What you're doin'?

>> I'm writing a new piece.

>> Why don't you learn something that we can play together? Recently, Apple came out with a new version of its popular GarageBand software. GarageBand is a big hit with musicians and musician wannabes like people in the-- [ unk ] in our household. It's endlessly entertaining. Well the new version has real, live popular artists, popular musicians, who teach you how to play some of their most popular songs.

>> Hi, I'm Patrick, and I'm gonna show you my band Fall Out Boy's song " I Don't Care "--

>> Hi, I'm Nora, and I'm here to teach you one of my songs. Basically the same thing over and over, and it alternates--

>> You pay $ 4. 99 per download, and it will take you through either easy or medium- difficulty versions of their songs, showing you on the computer how to play them on the piano or the guitar. So after looking at all of the different lessons, Clem and I decided that it might be kind of fun to learn Apologize by One Republic.

>> I'm Ryan, lead singer of One Republic, and right now I'm gonna show you how to play the first single off our debut album Dreaming Out Loud. This is Apologize. Here we go-- which is C, E flat, G. Second chord, which is C, F--

>> I think it's actually really, really fun-- a really interesting way to learn music. Very, very different from, you know, having Mrs. Burnstein come with a piano book, and forcing you to go through all of your scales.

>> I'm hearin' what you say, But just can't make a sound.

>> It's also good for a little father- daughter bonding. -[ unk ]
