Doing dishes/playing guitar

[Misanthrope189]

Hey guys,
I know you're supposed to clean your hands before playing your guitar, so food oils and grease don't get all over your strings and fretboard. But if I do a lot of dishes, and my hands get that dry sorta dish-washed feeling...I feel like it's no better to play guitar with them like that. What's your opinion?

Cheers,
Nick

I'd quit doing dishes then

Only if I wear an apron and make sure I know where the cord is.

[GodOfRhythm]

Wear gloves!

Just don't scratch your ass and then grab a guitar.

I'm confused...every time I open the dishwasher when its on it stops so I'm not following how your hands get clean from doing dishes....

You have to see it from the inside....

If I get inside my dishwasher, is there a handle in there so I can get out?

In Montana, I hate you, they don't have dishwashers. They let the cattle lick the plates clean.:ROTF: :ROTF:

That ain't all you let the cattle lick.....

I've never owned or had a dish washing machine in my 43 years of life.
(Does the wife count?)
Just clean as you go and you won't have a pile of dishs.
I always try to remember to wash my hands before playing or let anybody play my guitars.
I don't like my hands all dryed out when playing.

Thanks guys, I am now thoroughly disturbed

Oh, and don't forget to use some moisterising cream.
(After the dishes, on your hands you pervs)

I always used to wash my hands before I did the dish-washer. Something about nasty fungal infections induced from dirty fingernails I think. Then she left me.

'moisterising cream'- it's easier to spell it 'KY'.
