Garageband is really easy to use, I normally hook my boss pedal up but you don't really need to. You can just plug in, choose what amp you want ie fender, marshall, blackstar and soo on. Choose what pedal effects you want and then you can fiddle about with them till you get a decent sound. The general layout and workings are really simple and easy to pick up.
My previous band just recently split up but do stand ins every now and then just until I find another band. The things I play vary massively. On the electric I tend to blast out a lot of metal, Killswitch engage, Avenged sevenfold, rise to remain and the like. Equally I play a lot of acoustic things from either Tommy Emmanuel or Andy Mckee.
What about you?
