do you do this?

style rocker. I am sure this has to have a name but I have never heard
it - where you take E and A form barre chords and rock your pinky on and
off making the power chord a 6 or 7 chord.
Anyway what ever this is called, Just A Closer Walk is just A, D, & E.
For the chorus I play the chords at the 5th and 7th fret but I play the
verse with 1st position chords. For the A and E this is fairly common
but I am wondering do any of you play in this style with an open D? You
tap your pinky on the 3rd string on the 4th and 5th frets. I have never
seen anyone else do it, so just wondering.
Second and more important: On the few songs (such as this one) that I
have a lead intro worked out on, I can play them blindfolded with one
arm tied behind my back at home or during practice but always blow it
during a service by messing up the timing or wrapping my fingers around
each other. Obviously it is a nervous thing but I don't feel nervous at
all. The world doesn't end or anything but still it is frustrating.
Mentally I feel relaxed. How does one get the fingers to feel that way
as well?
