During the winter, we gig in a large circuit that takes us through many of the Retirement and Senior Living Facilities here in Columbus, Ohio. The temps are kept high in these facilities to assist with the comfort level of the residents. It can be warm. I would estimate that the inside temps could push 80 to 85 degrees easily. In fact, there are times when I have to re-tune between songs because of the environment.
As a result my fretting hand gets sweaty and it is possible that I might slip up or down the fretboard, off of a string, or off the fretboard entirely. As you can imagine, this can prove to be problematic, as my wife, who handles the vocals, is counting on the only other instrument for support.
Any solutions out there? Maybe powder or some sort of chalk that might solve this problem?
Thanks,
Mike
