How Can I Make a Guitar Cover Video?

I'm not sure if this is possible to do but how can I do this?
I want to basically record a video of me playing my electric guitar with a song.
I have a cable that allows me to plug my electric guitar into my MBP, and GarageBand let's me use the computer as an amp (with all the effects etc.). My MBP has the built-in iSight.

So I need the video to have the actual song playing (mp3), my guitar playing (audio), and my guitar playing (video).

Is there any easy way to do this? If so, how? Thanks!

MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo), Mac OS X (10.5.7)

drop the mp3 into the GB timeline, create a New Basic Track for your guitar recording, and use iMovie to record the video.

you can then solo your guitar track in GB and export it. import that into your iMovie project to replace whatever audio its recorded (check in the iMovie forum for the exact method for doing that)

it would be wise to clap your hands together loudly after you start recording to easily sync up the audio and video portions
