Mortigi Tempo

I'm sorry if this has been covered already. I couldn't find any threads. I don't know anything about music and I have GarageBand. What I want to do is sing lyrics and put music behind it. Anyway, I have the tabs (for piano) to the song I would like to sing and I am wondering if I am able to enter the notes without actually recording the keyboard or real instruments. So, basically, can I just plug in the notes and have the program play them? I hope that makes sense. I don't know the terms for anything. I'm just a beginner and right now, I am playing around. In a few months I will be taking lessons for bass guitar; hopefully my knowledge for music will improve. Thank you for any help or advice.

Total Noob Needs Help With Samples

Hello. I am totally new to any of this. I hope I'm posting this in the right forum. Sorry if I'm not. Anyway, I just started playing with Garage Band. What I want to know is if I can take a sample from a regular song and isolate one instrument. For instance, if I want to use a bass line from, say, Joy Division, am I able to zero in on just that, without the drums or anything? I've been teaching myself how to use Garage Band and haven't really found anything to address this issue. I don't even know if it can be done, but I figured all of you would know. Thanks for putting up with the noob.
