Some time ago, a very talented guitarist and friend of mine, told me an interesting thing smile.gif it may seem strange though.

'Mate, don't clean the guitar's fretboard! That dirt is a part of your sound!'

I never tried not to, but it stayed on my mind since that time.. What if the way the residues add on the fretboard, influence the sound in such a way that in combination with the characteristics of our hand and fingers dynamics, it contributes to the uniqueness and individuality of our sound as a guitarist? Crazy thoughts? biggrin.gif
