As part of the upcoming transition to 64-bit technology in macOS, GarageBand 6.0.5 won’t be compatible with future versions of macOS, starting with the recently announced macOS Catalina 10.15. With GarageBand 10 for macOS, you can open and continue to work on the projects that you created in GarageBand 6.0.5.
GarageBand features a basic sequencer, a set of available instruments, an option of adding drum patterns and recording or mixing in audio tracks. So, you can drop a drum pattern to set the tempo and the style, then create (for example) bass, guitar, and synthesizer tracks, and then sing to this arrangement to have a song of your own.

The iLife version of GarageBand still has no smart instruments like the IOS version. You probably don't have a touch screen on your Mac.
You can use musical typing or connect a midi keyboard to play virtual instruments however; and in the JamPacks are some instruments that will play chords: Eighties Power Chords, Dobro Chords, Flamenco Guitar, ...
The many Drum Kits from the Remix Tool JamPack can also be plaid from the 'Musical Typing' window.
And (for me at least) in many cases the ready made loops will suffice or can be edited to do what I want.
