Thank you! Sorry I didn't respond faster. For some reason I wasn't notified of your post.

You make good, and logical points, and I wonder how you feel about a specific issue I have:

I've prepared 3 songs and played them about 6 times a day at home. I can play them easily.... I sing them easily...... BUT, doing both is a challenge. I can coordinate the guitar/singing ok, but I have no reserve brain power. ONE error in lyrics, timing, chord, and I go blank. I mean everything goes to hell!

I know practising is essentially the key, but do you have any thoughts/experiences to share? I'm hungry for ANY experienced advice, please!
