Maybe this will help with the tension that I'm always fighting?
Let’s say next year you’re assigned a group project in school as a Freshman and you have the role of the project leader. You are on a team with three other people (all Seniors with 4.0 GPAs, great attitudes, and a drive to do their best). What happens to your tension level when you have to hand over part of the responsibility to each of your team members?

It’s great to share the workload, and the more that you can turn control over to your subconscious for individual, routine tasks, the less tension that you will experience in your playing. How freeing from tension is it when your entire conscious mind can focus on music instead of having to worry about tightening this or relaxing that?

This is the answer that you are looking for.
