Hey guys, I've been playing for about 5 years and I love my instruments. While performing an acoustic gig at a small venue, I realized that while sliding along the fretboard, the natural squeak was really bothering me. I used a cap to cover the sound hole and output was through a built in pickup, and of course the squeak was amplified because of the microphone I positioned to sing through. Its always been Martin extra light gauge for me and sometimes Ernie Ball. I've asked techs at the guitar store if there was anything that could at least reduce the noise because I try my level best to slide with smoothness and without friction but when playing live the anxiety kicks in and you want to sort of hold on to those notes.
If anyone can get through that essay, I would really appreciate any input from anyone.
Thanks

Get Elixirs. They're coated, they seriously reduce the sliding sound, and very arguably the longest lasting.

i dont use elixirs on acoustic but my electric i do and i like them alot they last very long.
