GarageBand User Guide for iPhone
Creating riffs is more difficult than using smart patterns, so GarageBand also includes an editor to correct any mistakes or add more complex sequences. Go to the Project page, double-click your.
Simply select the chord position you like to replace at the bottom. Then select the chord you wish to replace it with at the top. Tap on 'Done' once you've made your choices. I too am not exactly clear on what you're asking, but if you are wondering if Garageband can change chords when you are using its built-in loops, it can do that. Select the region, open the edit window (scissor icon), and adjust the pitch up or down and it will change from one chord to the next. Add custom chords to GarageBand for iPad. You can add your own custom chords to a song. Custom chords can include extensions (added notes) and alternate bass notes. When you add a custom chord, it is available to all instruments played with chord strips in the current song.
Many songs are organised in sections such as intro, verse and chorus. Each section is usually eight bars long, or a multiple of eight. When you create a GarageBand song, it contains one repeating section. You can add more sections, set the length of a section, and play back a single section or all sections.

Set a section to automatically fit the length of your recording
When you record a Touch Instrument, the section length determines how long the recording is. However, you can set the section to automatically fit the length of your recording. This is useful when you record something of an undetermined length (such as an improvised performance or spoken word) or when you import audio or MIDI files into your song.

When you shorten a section, any regions extending past the end of the section are shortened. When you lengthen a section, all regions that extend from the beginning to the end of the section now loop to the new end of the section. A section can be any number of bars, and the overall song can be up to 2000 bars long.
Play a different section
Open the song section controls, then choose the section you want to play. To play all sections in the song, choose All Sections.
Tracks view changes to show the section, and the ruler shows the bar numbers for the section.
In Tracks view, you can also switch between adjacent song sections by swiping left or right until the next section is visible.
If you set different quantisation or transposition values for a track in different sections, the quantisation or transposition value for that track appears as Multiple when you choose All Sections.
