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.

What is the relationship between “do re mi” and note letter names? I note that the Sound of Music song is in Bb, to they're using movable Doh :) |

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) |

Dealing with different tunings on stage 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. |

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. |

When decreasing string gauge on a bass guitar, will I need to adjust the truss rod? No specific recommendations, but Google returns plenty of results, and they don't tend to contradict one another. |

What are the most common ways to “decorate” a melody? +1, and yet this demonstrates the problem with the question. It's a long answer from a classical perspective. A folk musician would give an equally long answer with no overlap. You wouldn't be able to objectively choose a "correct" answer. |

What are the most common ways to “decorate” a melody? Per music.stackexchange.com/faq#dontask I think the whole intent of the question is a bad fit for Stack Exchange, both for the "imagine a whole book" reason, and for the "chatty, open ended" potential. Dozens of us could chip in with potential additions to your list (although the site doesn't appear popular enough now). I do encourage you to create more focussed questions about the topics you deleted. |

A total newbie wants to learn how to write songs. What does he need? Just a different way of presenting the same information. The image is the famous cover of a 1970s punk fanzine. |

A total newbie wants to learn how to write songs. What does he need? Yep, the scales are independent of the thing that makes the sounds (there is some extra complexity to do with the naming of notes on brass instruments, but I suggest you ignore that until you need it) |
