Add sharps and flats and its mind bogglingly difficult to learn. The response is usually, tough it out. But for a person over 30, that can be a 2 year process with small changes.

YES this is an issue I'm having right now and at 51 it isn't easy and I have to fight the temptation not to try and memorize the music. I'm getting all hung up on one easy piece yet can play another quite easy.
I worked out it was some kind of motor response trigger in the brain, for me its playing the open g string. I just about freeze and go blank, notes on other lines and open strings are much easier.
