    What instruments do you play?

    Better approach is to calm yourself by sincerely accepting that you will miss one note and just follow through - mind blank.

    Many licks are built off scale structures. If your fingering is off for one note, then means every note in the scale might be one note off.

    if you do miss a note, it’s fine, you’ve already accepted it.

    It’s only fine when you’ve got your fingering back and you know where you are on your instrument again.

    On piano for example, its not only about the note but which finger lands on the note. Having your middle finger where you expect your index can mess you up even if you played all the right notes up until then.

    On guitar you need to know which fret you’re on.

    I have to agree with the other user practice is the way to go here. No amount of confidence can make up for the skill that comes with hard work.
