When you play, do you play with your strumming hand often touching/resting on the strings, or do you not even touch them at all - just pick.

Both. But I usually play without a pick and my hand in the palm-mute area. Upstrokes with a celluloid pick by the tip of the fretboard are big and round. Nearer to the bridge with tight downstrokes is bright and sparkly. I guess I like to move around for expression?

Both..depends if I'm palm-muting or shredding..based on whatever I'm playing I guess.

Sometimes I mute the strings slightly, kinda depends on what I'm playing.
