How can I stop my fingers from sticking to the guitar strings and ringing a note?

I am a beginning guitarist and whenever I lift my fingers off of my strings to switch notes, it will lowly ring that string and it really bothers me. Is there any way I can prevent this? I just put on new strings 2 weeks ago and don't play more than an hour or two a week. Thanks for any help.


Answer
If you just put new strings on and don't play that much per week, you don't need to put any sort of product on them.

If the noise you're talking about is the open string ringing when your finger comes off, then you probably just need to work on finger speed and chord switching. There's only a split second between the end of one chord and the beginning of the next, so you just need to minimize that time between chords.

If you're referring to the squeak sound from changing into some chords, that's just part of the instrument. In fact some people will use a second mic in the studio just to capture that sound to make it sound more real.
