Fellow guitar player and detailer here. Found this tool last Christmas and highly recommend it.

Dude, there is this nifty little tool called the Music Nomad Tool which is absobloodylutely perfect for the job. It's got a string/fretboard cleaner on one end (the flat spatulate end), and the brush end is terrifyingly effective at cleaning away dust from hitherto hard-to-reach crevices on the instrument - in between bridge saddles, between pickups, etc.
I bought one just because I was curious, but I ended up getting four more, one for each of my basses (to keep with their cases).
I wouldn't advise using alcohol of any sort on a musical instrument - you risk damaging the finish on the fretboard and body. If you use coated strings, you'd be compromising the coating. Plus, I'm not sure what effect the gelling agent would have - it might affect your tone, and/or prove to be a gunk magnet in its own right.
To keep gunk off my strings, I wipe down the strings and fretboard with the flat end of the Nomad Tool, then run some GHS Fast Fret over the strings. The Fast Fret is pretty much straight-up mineral oil, and a thin coating helps fingers (of both hands) glide along smoothly. Since a little of it goes a long way, it's quite cost effective as well. Another potential upside is that it will slow the process of string corrosion - although this is a guess on my part, because I run stainless steel strings on all my basses.
I use one of these:

Brush duster on one side, gets under knobs and inbetween tight sets of knobs and feels soft kinda like sable hair, flat area is nice for polishing up larger flat areas like a keyboard bed, feels like microfiber terry cloth. Got it for my guitars, works great with knobby synths and effects pedals.
Some people just have sweaty hands. There is no diet that's going to change that. Washing you hands before practice is good advice. However, interrupting practice because hands gets sweaty is completely ludicrous to me. Interrupting the flow of practice for what purpose? I hope it's not for the longevity of strings.
Things like this, or this, or even this exist because some guitarist will have hands that is so sweaty that one practice session will be enough to leave gunk on the strings.
I use this. No other products for cleaning my strings. Once it's dirty enough, I wash it under cold water, and it's good to go.
Oh you mean personality and stories, right?
Actually have one of these that I use about once a day too.
