Sweating hands (palms)
Hello everyone. I am begining to play guitar and learning a music theory but I have a problem with sweating hands. When I start to play it's OK but after a couple of minutes i feel the sweat on my palms and I can't even play it anymore. It's anoying me. So, did you masters had such problems (or still have) and what should I do (if there is anything at all). I am not a nervous person and I play guitar in my room alone so there's no reason that i should be nervous (and as an effect my hands start to sweat). I hope you understand me.

Sounds like a psychological problem. Probably the best thing to do is to ignore it and just play through it and it will probably go away in time.
Sound a bit like "red-light syndrome" (which has nothing to do with hookers I might add) which is something I sometimes get when Im recording something. Imagine a piece that you know really well and have played a million times flawlessly. If I know Im going to be recording that particular take Im 10 times more likely to mess it up.
And sweating palms is 10 times better than sweating........ other bits !!!

BTW: I bought a new acoustic guitar 1 month ago (Fender DG-5 BLK) and i clean the frets each time i play on it just because of sweat.
P.S. What do you think about this guitar? Is it "too good" for beginner???

I don't think a guitar can be too good !
If you wipe your finger board down when you are finished and once every two months (every one or two string changes) you should be Ok. You could try rubbing the finger board down with a rag that has had a small amount of lemon oil applied to it. This will both clean and condition. had will help soften and get rig of all that nasty gunk that accumulates round the frets.
When I say small I mean small as you don't want to drench the wood. To apply the lemon oil, put a pin hole in the foil covering the top of the oil bottle and apply one or two drips to do the entire finger board.
(Don't use this stuff on light woods)
