Oil or Powder for Lube?

I use "Fast Frett" alot. I was wondering if many people used talc instead? New Poll? Oil, Talc, or Dry?

I use the Fast Fret alot too. Good stuff.

I have used Talc in the past help cut down resistence on the back of the neck.

Dry, aka nothing. I've never seen any benefit at all to using a lubricant whilst playing.

When I need lubrication I wipe my right hand index and middle fingertips on the sides of my nostrils, for the oil there. That's the only kind of lube I use.

I'm with The Clap. If I use anything at all, it's nose grease. I usually use nothing, though.

The natural lubrication is enough for me, baby...
(I know this sounds kinky, but I do have sweaty palms...)

Should bottle that crap and call it "Ultimate Xtreme Guitar Lube".

Dry. Relaxation is the key to speed AND clarity, to me.

Nothing here just body oil. I would think adding an oil (fast fret) would attract and collect dirt causing strings to go dead faster.

uhhh, she only lets me use it on my birthday.......oh wait.......dry as a bone, but my strings do get greasy when one of my guitar players play it, WASH YOUR HANDS!

I usually use Pennzoil 5w30, but have recently switched to Royal Purple 5w20. More expensive, but it seems like everything feels "quicker". Friends tell me I should switch to Amsoil, but I dunno...
