Do we need a tag for every composer/artist?
No

I would ...

Should we separate guitar tags?

The Feedback tag is kinda hilarious right now
This is why it's always important for tags to have some kind of excerpt on the directed use of the tag. The intention is to use the feedback tag for the kind that is from a sound loop (i.e. from mics, ...

Blacklist the [music] tag
I mean, I'm hardly qualified to render my opinion, but I'm pretty confident that all the questions here are in some way related to music (if they weren't, they'd be off-topic).

How should the bass tag be used?
My suggestion is since the term bass covers a lot of different concepts and since pretty much every use of the tag is covered by another tag we blacklist the bass tag.
If we really need a tag for ...

Should we make the tag instrument-care a synonym of maintenance?
I agree that on most existing questions here they are used for the same thing and should be merged, but I think the word "maintenance" is a bit too potentially ambiguous. instrument-maintenance would ...

Discussion of a new tag for physical positioning issues aside from fingering
