I play guitar on my own, at open mic nights, and as part of a weekly get-together for guitarists, and as part a reggae band, for fun.

comment When decreasing string gauge on a bass guitar, will I need to adjust the truss rod?
+1 because I have my guitar set up professionally, and I'm glad I do. However, the OP adjusts the action himself, cleans pots, raises and lowers pickups - he's obviously keen. The pro wasn't always an expert either.

@ekaj by "too many effects in the chain", horatio probably means effects in the virtual chain within the iPad.

I've seen professionals on stage with iPads (for example, Bjork).

The question as originally set was way too broad (there are hundreds of music apps for iPad), so I have edited it down to the specific one you had.

comment Organ technique for pianists
I'd say self-tuition is the best option if you're cash-poor and time-rich; a teacher makes sense if it's the other way around (although either way, you'll get nowhere if you don't find time to practice)

If you can tune well by ear, then that's great - but it doesn't make sense to forego an electronic tuner if the result is that you'll be out of tune.

comment What stretches should I be do doing to reduce my chance of injury from long term playing?
I think if it belongs here, there needs to be a separate question for each type of instrument. A guitarist, drummer, pianist, trombonist, all use completely different muscles. Even an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar player (with light gauge strings and super-low action) would have very different needs.
