Even when I try using GarageBand, I don't know what to build from. Should I start with the drums? Or should I start with the bass?

When making music in GarageBand, it is recommended to start with the drum rhythm. This is because of the Drummer feature, which allows you to choose fills and instruments in more detail than a mere preset, letting you freely adjust it as if you had a genre-specific drummer right there. You can then layer your favorite instrument—playing a riff or anything you like—over the beat you like, and record other instruments to match that sound, and before you know it, another song is practically finished. This is the ultimate recommended composition technique for GarageBand. Well, for now, don't worry too much and just try playing along with various rhythms.
