GarageBand app that ships with Mac OS X, here's the description from
the press release:
"GarageBand features a collection of fun Touch Instruments that sound
great and make it easy for beginners or experienced musicians to play
and record keyboards, guitars, drums and basses in a wide variety of
styles. Smart Instruments now allow you to choose from an extensive new
library of custom chords so you can play and strum along with your
favorite songs."
