I don't believe the tutorials are accessible on GarageBand. Best look around for another "learn to play" course/app/program. GB is a good audio editor, in my opinion, but not all that great for anything more. On Jan 15, 2014, at 8:59 AM, Dionipher Presas Herrera wrote: > is anyone here using

I use MacTubes a lot for viewing videos on YouTube and between it and safari, if one is being problematic, the other one seems to work. MacTubes is great and might be worth your trouble investigating. ∂ On Jan 18, 2014, at 9:57 PM, Andrew Head wrote: > Hi all, > I can search for youtube videos
