I keep a dampened paper towel and squeeze it between my thumb and index finger to increase bar grip. Works surprizing well. |

Or you could just lick your fingers. Works for me. Especially effective for getting your metal fingerpicks seated tightly. |

I have sweaty palms so drying them for me is crucial.
Use either soap and water regularly or a Swimmers cloth. _________________ Stefan

I've been using textured tape intended for stairs.
It works just great for me, never a slip.
Ignore the Nick Manoloff bar. It's the only photo I had with the tape.
