rumours said smth abt jaco's hands being coated with fried chicken oil as he played but those are just rumours la..

if u want super smooth playing then.. hmm..

human sebum works well too .. =) .. i have quite an oily face .. so when i really need that slick to my strings .. just wipe and go .. sorry for sounding so gross but that's what i do at times ...

but i realised that over time the human oil will sort of corrode your strings .. make them die faster ..

 

[dude]

i cant believe you actually did that exin! hahahaha.

exin... r u serious bout that? heh... 8O

 

[sanyorita]

but serious mah? cooking oil on the strings? that's interesting... *raising an eyebrow*

 

[dude]

actually i really dont think you should use cooking oil. haha. i think cooking oil should be used for cooking ONLY. i also think its an attempt by the user to chalk up some posts. hahahahaha.

 

[Weiht]

I read some pple put olive oil on their fretboard...

Yup... apparently face oil is the best thing to use around! doesn't coagulate (unless you accidentally used mucus... heh) and it's free!

And if your face not oily enough, can try taking ermm.. birth control pills. Gaurantee you can even sell it to other people in a bottle after that

come on lah .. it's not really that gross after all right?? .. ahahahaah .. maybe i'll consider changing .. i do have quite a few ER XIN habits that i won't want to mention ..

 

[pooo]

That's disgusting man! Dead skin cells in the oil all rubbed down into the strings. Ewww.

Aiyoh .. come to think of it even your own fingertips have dead skin also .. so when you play with your fingers the dead skin also rub into the strings what ..

gross..that reminds me, always wipe a guitar's strings and fretboard before using it, esp if it belongs to someone else. u dun want his dead skin rubbing off onto your fingertips. imagine if u forget to wash your hands before eating after that.. eww 8O

happened quite a number of times already .. hor! .. i shouldn't have said that .. that's also one of my disgusting habits .. ahahah . no lah .. if i'm really really too lazy to wash hands before eating .. i'll ensure totally that i don't touch any food with my bare hands .. always use fork and spoon or chopstick ..

 

[pooo]

Exin, the oil part just makes it sound that much worse lol
