Several decades after most of you, I am trying to get to a level of proficiency where my playing is 'automatic'. However, even when doing the more simple reading, it's hard (after my day work) for me to shift my attention and focus only on the notes. After a half to one and a half hours, I can focus better on the notes and at times play automatically, yet a friend of mine who plays well can simply reel off the notes from the start.
Are there any mental exercises or other ways of better preparing myself to read? Someone suggested that I'm 'trying too hard' and I note that sometimes when I'm over the edge (overly stressed, upset), I end up doing better. I feel like I'm fighting myself sometimes. I just wondered if there is a better way than just brute-force practice. Thanks.
