Surely It's not a geographic issue, I live far from you...but it happens the same to me, but it is worse if I'm playing baroque guitar...at a moment I cannot say what kind of tablature I'm reading...neither do I realize which is the upper or lower string in the tab. But it usually happens late at night after a thousand hours at the computer, and very dry and red eyes... My suggested cure is similar to the one already offered...but I'd prefer a Malbec.
