I basically have two major ones:
1. My own insecurities
2. Keep on comparing myself with others and then thinking I am just not good enough
3. Getting things perfect in practice just to fumble it all during Sunday worship >☹
I have to add on a positive note, I am very blessed to have family and friends who does not give up on me and keep on encouraging me. Thanks guys! ?
The "live" scenario always makes things somehow tougher...I've messed up super easy parts just because of that. With time it will get easier/better and you will find that you make less mistakes. Also, most of the people in the congregation won't even realise you made a mistake (unless it is really huge and the band stops). A wrong chord or being off time isn't THAT noticeable by your average Joe ? so keep on keeping on.
Yeah, for me it's usually the nerves before a gig, especially during the first song, as well as fumbling stuff I've nailed in practice. That said, the more I play in public, the more comfortable I'm getting and the less of a 'thing' it's becoming.
