I have always had sweaty hands. TMI, I know, but I thought I'd ask amongst all Guitar Pro's here, do you have sweaty hands and if so, do you use anything to help protect your guitar strings while playing?
 
cheers, and TIA,

I seem to remember someone here had that problem - Rain maybe?

Okay James, thanks.

I suppose I should Google it to see what wonderful lotions or oils are available for this sort of thing.

cheers

I do, but I don't really do anything about it.
I lightly sanded the back of the necks of my guitars, so they don't get sticky.  Other than that, I just make sure I have another pick wedged into the pickguard in case the one I'm using slips out of my fingers.  As for strings, I've never even thought about them.

Would talcum powder help?
 

We used to spray WD 40 on them.

Not since I moved up to where the humidity is like 10 percent.
 

 
We used to advise snooker and pool players who complained of a sticky cue to work some silicon spray into the grain. I don't know if it would be safe to use on a guitar or whether it would affect the neck finish or mess with the (lemon?) oil finish on the fretboard (Spacey would know the answer to this I'm sure). Mind you, it certainly didn't do any harm to maple or ash cues.
 
I've tried using Fender's Speed Slick string cleaner - it certainly works to remove the cling but I don't much care for the 'residue' it imparts to one's fingers.
 
 
 
 

I used to have sweaty hands but I got rid of it using a combination of these handheld electrolysis devices and hypnosis (long time ago!).  Haven't had an issue since.  Something like this:

I don't fancy using sand paper, even the finest of grade, on my two guitars.
 
I've stopped using plectrums now, for the reason you stated. I used to use Dunlop's pics which I found gave me the best grip. But I found myself more and more picking up my guitar and starting to pick the strings with my fingers. Not in any sort of classical style, I hasten to add, I'm much to crap to try anything like that haha!
