Presumably by "clean" you mean unamped? My guitar can only be played acoustically as far as I am aware. What is palm mute?

Try running your hands under hot water before you play. I read this in Guitar One magazine and I tried it. It really works.mot- said:
For warming the hands, I recommend hot water, rubbing them together, or just playing till they warm up, depending on the situation.
Picking: the strings won't suffer if you use the right picking techniques (not too harsh, the correct technique for almost every kind of playing, even death metal, is actually quite subtle).
I myself prefer picks from 0,7 to 1,0 mm... but that's a matter of taste.
Don't EVER use Fender picks, they suck enormous ass! I recommend Dunlop picks.
I had no problems playing with long hair, except when it got between the strings...
and you can always wear a ponytail.
Ignore me if you will.

oh yeah, and to e...-1:
by "clean" i'm pretty sure he means "without overdrive".
and palm muting means that you cover the strings a bit with your palm just by the bridge, thus creating a "chunky" sound... (for example, listen to Master's Apprentices' 3rd thru 6th note from the start)
correct me if necessary.

Look behind you!
"Yeah it happened one day, way back in the sticks, he picked up his guitar but he had no pick, so with just a thumb and two fingers, he made up a lick.. and fingerpickers took over the world.. So thats how it happened, that wonderful day, with just a thumb and two fingers he started to play..."

if you can't get good volume from finger picking it's because you suck, not because you're fingerpicking. Especially if you use nails you can get more volume than a plec.
