I’d heard that you could connect an electric guitar to your iPad and use it within Garageband using the Apogee JAM or AmpliTube iRig. I’d also recently picked up Rocksmith which comes with the Real Tone cable. In addition, I already had an iPad 2 and the camera connection kit.

If you’re a guitarist who’s just getting started with GarageBand and are dying to jump in a start recording, you may be overwhelmed with the different gear options available to you.
While many would argue that the only way to accurately capture an electric guitar performance is by mic’ing up your amplifier and hitting record, in my latest video I share 3 ways that you can directly input your guitar into your Mac so that you can record it in GarageBand.
