Attention Guitar Players! I Hate When This Happens While I'm Playing! Here's What I Do To Stop It |

In this video, I talk about a common problem for tons of guitar players, especially ones who live in areas that are prone to high humidity, and what I like to do to combat it. When you get sweaty hands while playing a gig or practicing, it can make moving around the neck pretty difficult. Your hand seems to stick to the neck, making it harder to move quickly around the fretboard. What I do to combat this is to use a powder to dry up my hands. It can be baby powder, gold bond powder, or any other type of powder that absorbs moisture. I like to apply it using a crown royal bag which keeps the powder contained, so it doesn't get all over your guitar and clothing. Let me know if you like the tip or if you have any other suggestions. Leave me a comment, and thanks for watching!
Also, I have hundreds of other lessons for guitar players who like Jazz, Blues, Bebop, and Fingerstyle guitar arrangements. There are also a lot of lessons on guitar technique and guitar scales, along with exercises meant to build your chops. Check them all out here: guitarcollegelibrary.com/

About Rich:
Originally from the L.A. area, Rich has been playing professionally and teaching guitar for over thirty years. His education includes years of college and private instruction with a variety of teachers, including Mitch Holder, Ted Greene, Joe Pass, and Charlie Shoemake, to name a few. He feels education is a continuing process. There's always more to learn. Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Howard Roberts, Ted Greene, and Larry Carleton have all influenced his playing.
Rich wrote three books for a major publisher, Dale Zdenek/ Belwin Mills/Columbia, providing him the opportunity to work with other great artists/authors like Tommy Tedesco, Joe Diorio, and Ted Greene. After teaching at GIT/Musicians Institute, in Hollywood, CA, for three years, he developed and published his own home study guitar school-type curriculum available on his website www.GuitarCollegeLibrary.com which has helped over ten thousand students improve their playing.
Rich has won honorable mentions and awards in songwriting and served as president of the Ventura County Producers and Songwriters Guild. Touring for three years with "Dick Clark's Good Old Rock and Roll Show," he had the opportunity to perform with Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Little Anthony, and many other great, old-time rock and rollers.
After moving his family to the Yosemite/Fresno area, he taught guitar and directed the jazz band at Fresno Pacific University for two years. Being a well-rounded player, Rich is comfortable playing a variety of styles, including jazz (his favorite), blues, rock, fusion, country, and solo fingerstyle. He performs at local venues in a number of different scenarios, as a solo guitarist, with his jazz trio or quartet or smooth jazz quintet. At home in his studio, he is continually producing new lessons for UA-cam and www.GuitarCollegeLibrary.com.

I think, but am not sure, that baby powder is corn starch with perfume added.

[@robertbalogh1656]

I am a jazz guitarist but also a retired chemist. Talcum powder in no longer due to women getting cervical or uterine from it. In the past baby powder was made from talc which is a finely ground mineral or corn starch both with an added scent. I don't believe talc is used any more.

Talc is associated with lung cancer. Corn starch is fine
