I have struggled with being able to pay full attention to what I am playing, where the song is and where it is going. It's been this way for all the instruments I play. I'lI constantly forget transitions, beat variations for specific sections, etc.
I can't tell if it is a matter of paying attention, not knowing the material well enough and/or something else
Don't get me wrong, I can play along fairly well, but when practicing on my own, I always find myself stopping somewhere in the song because I forgot how one part goes, missed a transition, thinking I can do it better, or because I want to try something different/more interesting, etc.
I try to practice as though I'm with a band (meaning no unnecessary stopping or trying anything new), but I end up doing it anyways.
Has anyone struggled with something like this? If so, how have you been able to overcome it/work on it?
