Sheet or Digital Music Scores?
Do you prefer the traditional method with sheet music or are you more modern with digital music and a reading app?

I have been using an iPad Pro with forScore for some years now. If I buy new sheet music I soon convert it. Only recently have I realised that there are additional benefits for the ageing guitarist. I have been converting my scores from standard portrait pages to zoomed landscape pages. Reading scores is so much easier now!
Recording anxiety
Is it normal to have performance anxiety when simply trying to record myself playing or practicing? I often think I am playing certain pieces well then as soon as I hit "record" it all falls apart. Anyone have ideas or advice to make it easier to record?

I believe this is a common experience. As Blaise says, it is similar to anxiety in public performance settings. And as she says, repeting the behaviour frequently usually results in the anxiety becoming less. Indeed it can be used as a step in combatting public perfomance anxiety. And the results of the behaviour need be shared with no-one else unless that is what you wish.
