If a passing mistake discombulates you it means you haven’t practiced enough. Everyone makes a mistake in performance. Most often it just isnt exactly what we intended to play. But no one but you knows what you intended to play. The audience is usually oblivious. If someone does notice I’ll just wink and carry on.
In your typical cafe/coffeehous/openmic the audience hears you as ambient noise. Most arent there for you, so dont put so much pressure on yourself. In concert is a different kettle of fish, though.
