Sure, it makes sliding much easier, but it will negatively effect your tone!

Yum.

 

[Luckydog]

Nice try. Change your coated strings, the coating is fraying.

 

[Fernando Costa]

Clean your hands too!

A guitarist friend of mine told me he never washes his hands (pre-covid) before going on stage, for the mojo.

That's a coated acoustic guitar string if I had to guess. The coating is breaking away.

I thought that guitar strings had to molt at least five or six times until they grew enough to become bass strings.

I find that sort of grime gets my fingers dirty and yukky. So I like to eat a large order of fries after-gig. That'll clean 'em right up.

So, that's what mojo looks like up close. Cool.
